I'm A Kind Of Private Guy.

There Are Only So Many Movies You Can Direct. And Yet There Are Movies That I Want To Make Sure Make It To The Screen In As Honest A Way As Possible.

As Far As Writing, I Like Watching Bad Movies. Nothing Stops Me In My Tracks More Than Watching A Great Film Like 'the Godfather' Or 'dog Day Afternoon' Or 'the Graduate.' You Watch One Of Those, And You Never Want To Write Again. Whereas With Bad Movies, It Makes You Think, If That Counts, I Certainly Could Write.

I Laugh A Lot In Horror Films. If I'm Scared In A Horror Film, I Try To Think About What's Scaring Me... Particularly, If It's A Bad Movie, But Something They're Doing Still Works. It's The Same Way I Look At Comedy. I've Always Had An Intellectual View Of Comedy, And What Makes People Laugh, And How Does It Work.

Look, Any Guy Who Tells You That He Didn't Have Some Fears Is Lying. Of Course, It's Scary Becoming A Dad For A Variety Of Reasons. That's Not To Say It Isn't Thrilling. It Was. It Was Very Exciting And In Some Ways Was The Greatest Thing That's Happened In My Life. But It's Also Completely Terrifying And You're Saying Goodbye To A Portion Of Your Life And That's Just An Emotional Experience.

Unlike With Any Other Art Form, Filmmakers Have This Unique Web Of Festivals. There Are Hundreds. It Is A Democratic System In Which You Submit Films, And If They Are Good Enough, They Play. The Only Barrier To Entry Is The Submission Fee.
