I Want All Of My Films To

But It's Just That The Whole Country Is Making Generally Lousy Films These Days And Has Been For Quite A While. That's The Big Problem That We All Have To Think About.

Just Because I Make Films Doesn't Mean I Think They're Great. I Just Make Them And Then When I'm Done With Them I'm Just A Filmgoer Like I Always Am. They're All Lessons. I'm Still In Film School, Honestly. And This One Is Just A Dry Run For Whatever The Next One Is.

A Pitfall Of Making A Comedy With A Studio-and It's Also An American Cultural Thing-is That I Get Tired Of Being Encouraged To Go Always For Laughs.

My Editor And I Remain Very Disciplined. It's Just Sometimes When You're Making A Film, You Get Into The Cutting Room And You See A Scene That's Slowing You Down In A Certain Section, But If You Remove That Scene Then, Emotionally Or Story-wise, Another Scene A Half-hour Later Won't Have The Same Impact. You Just Get Stuck With It.

I Always Wanted 'sideways' To Be Like A Great 1960s Italian Film.
