Sometimes I Think Opposable Thumbs Were Invented

I Do Feel That If It's Not On The Page, There's No Hope Of It Getting To The Stage. You Really Can't Take A Cat And Turn It Into A Dog, Or Try And Get Lemons Off An Apple Tree, Or What Have You. Sometimes There's This Real Naïveté That People Possess, Where They Want You To Infuse A Scene With A Certain Quality, And It's Like An Apology. "i Read The Script, Didn't You? What's The Agenda Here?"

I Think That Directing Is The Ultimate Martyred Task Of Filmmaking, That It Has Nobility To It. It Takes Three Years To Make A Film, For The Most Part. I Think It Requires The Attentiveness Of A Mother Hen. I Don't Know How People Raise Children And Direct Films. I'm Sorry, I Don't Know, How Can You Be Good At Both?

I Bought Into The Myth That You Are Not Complete Without Romantic Love, Without A Mate. And It Can Really Distract You From Your Goals. But Sometimes You Have To Take A Leap.

Every Film Is Its Own Experience, Its Own Planet, Its Own Family. It Seems Infinite When You're Working On It, And Then It's Suddenly Very Finite, And It's Done.

Well, I Can Fake My Way Around Some Things, But I Don't Think I Would Be Good At Betting.
