I Don't Think Any Of Us Are

I Usually Set Aside A Lot Of Time In Advance Of A Movie With Important Roles For Kids To Search, But When You Have Great Ones, They Can Be A Real Ace In The Hole.

I Have Always Wanted To Work In The Theater. I've Always Felt The Glamour Of Being Backstage And That Excitement, But I've Never Actually Done It - Not Since I Was In 5th Grade, Really. But I've Had Many Plays In My Films. I Feel Like Maybe Theater Is A Part Of My Movie Work.

I've Never Had A Movie That Got Great Reviews. I've Had Movies That Got Different Levels Of Good And Bad Reviews, But You Can More Or Less Count On Plenty Of Bad Reviews.

I Have A Way Of Filming Things And Staging Them And Designing Sets. There Were Times When I Thought I Should Change My Approach, But In Fact, This Is What I Like To Do. It's Sort Of Like My Handwriting As A Movie Director. And Somewhere Along The Way, I Think I've Made The Decision: I'm Going To Write In My Own Handwriting.

The Movies I Make Tend Not To Be Quite Reality But The Characters Are Inspired By Real People And They're Always Very Personal.
