I Think I Got Really Lucky With

To Those Humans In Whom I Have Faith; I Wish Suffering, Being Forsaken, Sickness, Maltreatment, Humiliation. I Wish That They Should Not Remain Unfamiliar With Profound Self-contempt, The Torture Of Self-mistrust, And The Misery Of The Vanquished.

I'm Lucky That I Get To Jump Around, Do A Big-budget Comedy And Then A Smaller Film. I Don't Even Make A Big Distinction Between Them. No One Believes This, But It's The Same. I'm The Same Person, Trying To Make It Work. I Just Love Being On A Movie Set. I Like Making Movies.

Editing Rooms Are Kind Of, By Definition, A Bubble Of You And The Editor And What You're Thinking. It's A Truth-telling Thing To Watch It Through Someone Else's Eyes, Is To Get Another Level Of Real With Your Material. Like, "maybe That's Not That Funny. Maybe That's Not As Interesting. Maybe That's Redundant To Something Else. Maybe We Can Cut Down." I Don't Know. It's A Brutal, Honest Process. You've Got To Be Pretty - You Can't Be Sentimental. You Have To Be. It's A Cold Process. You Can't Be Nostalgic. You Have To Make Those Tough Decisions.
