It's Hard To See A Film One

Filmmakers Are Going To Make Films, Just Like Painters Are Going To Paint.

When You're Trying To Get Laid, Everything's Great, But Once You've Been With Someone Eight Years And The Future Is Not Finite, You Have Time To Sit And Really Examine Every Little Thing That Irritates You.

Your Friends Are Really An Extension Of Your Vision Of The World. It's Kind Of A Physical Manifestation Of How You Feel. Like Your Soul.

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.

If The Animators Could Hide Something So Secretly That I Could Watch It Numerous Times, Both On The Computer And On The Screen, And Not Pick Up On It, Then It Deserves To Be In The Movie. But If They Had More Overt Things, I'd Often Tell Them To Cut It Out. In General, As Long As They Captured The Spirit Of The Character, Then They're Fine. But Sometimes It Took A While, And We Had To Replace A Lot Of Animators.
