I Believe That Anything In This World

I Had Great Luck With Tim Mcgraw Twice In 'friday Night Lights' And 'the Kingdom.' I Love Finding Off-beat Casting And Finding Someone You Know In One Way And You Reinvent Them In Another Way. I Like Doing That As A Director.

I Believe That Anything In This World Is Fair Game For A Creative Exercise.

I Have A Tradition Of Working With Actors, Over And Over Again. I've Worked With Jason Bateman, Over And Over Again. You Get To Know An Actor, And You Get A Certain Trust And A Comfort, And You Become Really Good Friends, And You Feel Like You've Got A Short-hand.

One Of The Challenges Assembling The Film Was That Gun Fight Went On For Three And A Half Hours And We Obviously Couldn't Spend Three And A Half Hours Of The Film With One Gun Fight. It Was Trying To Figure Out The Balance Of How Much An Audience Could Take Before They Either Became Repulsed Or Desensitized Or Bored Or Just Overwhelmed.

I Think I've Been Fortunate Enough To Have A Fairly Long Career And Hopefully I'm At The Middle Of It Now. And I Think I'm Starting To Develop A Certain Amount Of Experience And A Certain Amount Of Wisdom About Kind Of What Really Matters And What Doesn't Matter.
