I Just Wanted It To Be American.

I Just Haven't Let Myself Get To A Place Where I've Felt A Part Of Any Kind Of A Community, So I've Always Stayed Outside Of It.

I Like Working With Family And Friends And People I Admire. All My Movies Are Filled With Family Members Of Some Capacity. I Think It Means More When You Have A Personal Relationship With Someone.

I Tried Working Odd Jobs That Had Nothing To Do With Creating, And It Was Difficult For Me. In The End, I Just Always Loved Movies. When I'm Making A Film I Feel Most Alive, Like I'm Doing The Right Thing, And I'm In The Place Where I Need To Be.

After 100 Years, Films Should Be Getting Really Complicated. The Novel Has Been Reborn About 400 Times, But It's Like Cinema Is Stuck In The Birth Canal.

For Me, Making A Movie Is Kind Of Like Vomiting. Not That Film Is Like Vomit, But More Like This Mass Of Ideas And Thoughts That You Have And Just Have To Put Them Out There. It's Not Even About Making Perfect Sense - It's More About Making Perfect Nonsense. I Don't Do Too Much Soul-searching Or Self-analysis. I Just Enjoy Making Things.
