There's Always Hope. Never Give

The Religion Itself May Have Some Great Ideas, But I Can't Take It Seriously If It's Blatantly Exclusionary.

The Cinema That I Make Is A Cinema About People, Emotion, Humanity And Passion. It's Not Just About What They Struggle Through, But What They Live For. That's What I Love. The Music They Love, The People They Love, The Clothing, The Hair And The Life That They Love

I'm Always Looking For A Way To Surprise Audiences. That's, I Feel, My Job As A Director. I Felt That Amy Adams Playing A Tough Woman In 'the Fighter' Was A Surprise. People Saw Her As A Princess.

The Closer You Stay To Emotional Authenticity And People, Character Authenticity, The Less You Can Go Wrong. That's How I Feel Now, No Matter What You're Doing.

I Would Say That When I Came Into This Chapter Of My Filmmaking Career, Starting With 'the Fighter,' There Was This Sense That You Have To Go From Your Instincts And You Have To Go From Your Gut, And You Have To Not Hesitate And You Have To Not Hedge.
