How Do You Shoot A 150-day Movie?

It's Based Not Only On What It Played Like In The Theater, But It's Also Knowing That Certain Things Play Differently In A Home Theater Environment. You Have Different Expectations When You're Sitting With 700 People Than When You're Sitting With Your Friends Or Family. It's Just A Different World.

Entertainment Has To Come Hand In Hand With A Little Bit Of Medicine. Some People Go To The Movies To Be Reminded That Everything's Okay. I Don't Make Those Kinds Of Movies. That, To Me, Is A Lie. Everything's Not Okay.

People Will Say, 'there Are A Million Ways To Shoot A Scene,' But I Don't Think So. I Think There Are Two, Maybe. And The Other One Is Wrong.

I Think Title Sequences Are An Opportunity To Sort Of Set The Stage Or To Get People Thinking In Different Terms Than Maybe Whatever They Understand The Movie To Be Going In.

I Learned Just To Be A Belligerent Asshole, Which Was Really: "you Have To Get What You Need To Get Out Of It." You Have To Fight For Things You Believe In, And You Have To Be Smart About How You Position It So That You Don't Just Become White Noise.
