Being Politically Correct Means Always Having To

When You're Going To Try And Have People Talk In A Room And Actually Reflect Life As We Know It And Have People Recognize Themselves And Their Own Street And Their Own House In It, Well Then You're Aiming For The High Country And It's A Much Bigger Gamble. You Can Interview All The Marketing Gurus And The People In Charge Of, You Know, The People You Gotta Fight With In Order To Get Your Seats Here, And They All Talk About Release Dates And Counterprogramming. At The End Of The Day, It's Gotta Be A Good Movie.

Mass-market Movies Have Become About One Thing. They Kind Of Declare Themselves Right Off The Bat. . . . But When I Go To See (a Film), I Want To Be Surprised. I Want To See Something I Never Expected. And When You Get That, It Should Be Celebrated.

Even If A Story Has Nothing To Do With My Life, If I Can Recognise Something Of Myself In The Character And Think, 'oh Yeah, That's What I'd Do...' Yeah, That's What I Look For.

I'm Not Looking For Anything. If You Start Looking For Something Specific, Then You Take Providence Right Out Of It. You Can't Completely Control It. Otherwise You'd Make The Same Kind Of Movie Over And Over Again, Which Some People Say I've Done.

Human Beings Do Things For A Reason, Even If Sometimes It's The Wrong Reason.
