I Think You Get In Trouble If

Definitely My Generation And Beyond Grew Up In Theaters And When You Make A Film You Think Of The Theatrical Experience. You Think Of That Big Screen In The Darkened Theater With A Lot Of People, So That's Always The Thought Behind It. If That's The Case, It's Nice If That's Available. That's Great, But I Don't Really Mind If They're Watching Films On A Plane. I Don't Mind. Anybody Who Just Wants To Watch A Movie, I Can't Complain. If That's The Way They're Going To Watch Them, That's The Way They Watch Them. Who Am I To Judge?

All The Women Are Going Around Saying, "oh, We're Just Friends, We're Just Friends," But The Guy's Going, "yeah, We're Friends, But As Soon As She Breaks Up With Her Boyfriend, I'm Hoping To Move In."

In A Sea Of Stories, Find The Right One To Tell, And The Right Way To Tell It.

I've Always Been Most Interested In The Politics Of Everyday Life: Your Relation To Whatever You're Doing, Or What Your Ambitions Are, Where You Live, Where You Find Yourself In The Social Hierarchy.

I Think Casting Is Really Important. Finding The Right Sensibility For The Right Part Is An Art In Itself. If You're Off There, You Make It Harder On Yourself As A Director. And It's Fun To Work That Out With The Actors. I Don't Think There's Any Magic To Directing Actors. It's Very Instinctual. Working With Actors Is Really One Of My Favorite Creative Moments Of The Whole Process, And The Most Fun, Because It's Collaborative. I Spend A Lot Of Time Rehearsing. I'm Very Rehearsal-oriented, Probably Because I Have Some Background In Theater. I Like Knowing What Will Work Beforehand.
