Instead Of Telling The World What You're

I Tend To Have A Kind Of Tunnel Vision When I'm Looking At An Individual Piece.

There Are Things You Do For The Fun Of Doing Them Or To Work Or To Hang With Certain People. But The Projects That I've Invested Myself In And Cared About Most Deeply Have Absolutely Been Activated By A Desire To Chase Something That I Relate To, Or That I See As Having The Potential To Speak To Someone Else Directly.

But Work That's Got Real Substance Does Make People Feel, "there's Someone Else Out There Who Relates To My Experience, Or Who Just Helped Me Understand My Own Experience A Little Bit Better." And I Think That's Still Got Enormous Value.

For Me There's Always A Line Or Two In A Script, When You Hit It You Almost Decide To Do The Whole Movie Off A Line Or Two. You Almost Do It For The Fun Of Getting To Say A Line Or Two Like That. I Don't Have Any Specific Plans, You Know. I Mean, If Seth Rogen Calls With A Great Buddy Pic, I'll Be There.

To Me, Achieving Tone, Achieving Consistency, Is Exactly The Job Of A Director. It Is To Be The Fusing, The Nexus Of A Whole Bunch Of People Contributing To The Complex Life Of A Movie. There Are Actors, There's A Cinematographer, There're Costume People, Set People, There Are All These Things, And You Somehow Have To Be The Person In The Middle Of It Who Is Making It All Synchronize Into The Same Magic Bubble.
