A Lot Of People Ask, "what Do

I Start To Get Fixated On A Story And A Character And An Idea, And At A Certain Point, I Really Want To Do It. It's A Compulsion To Explore A Specific Thing, As Opposed To A Compulsion To Direct, Generally Speaking.

Making Really Great Music, Making Really Great Films, Writing Great Books Is An Antidote To All Of That. And, As People, As Artists, Some Of The Massive Disruption That Technology Is Causing Is So Exciting, The Way That People Can Share Creativity Now.

Everyone Thinks That Fight Club Is A Very Important And Successful Film, But It Was A Massive Box-office Failure. Massive. It Was A Big Flop By Any Commercial-release Standard. And It's Been A Huge Hit On Dvd. Everything That Movie Has Become Has Been On Dvd. So You Can't Stake Your Sense Of Creative Success On This Whole Box-office-performance Matrix, Because If You Do, You're Going To Be Disappointed Most Of The Time.

I'm Pretty Busy In My Life And I'm Very Aware Of What It Takes To Direct A Movie. It Takes A Lot Out Of You; It Takes A Lot Out Of The Rest Of Your Life, From Other People In Your Life. I Don't Lie Around Hungering For That Consumption Very Often.

I Have This Embedded Faith In The Process Through Which Films Of A Certain Type Get Discovered On Longer Timelines.
