I've Always Had An Underdog Perspective.

The First Thing I Say When People Ask What's The Difference [between Doing Tv And Film], Is That Film Has An Ending And Tv Doesn't. When I Write A Film, All I Think About Is Where The Thing Ends And How To Get The Audience There. And In Television, It Can't End. You Need The Audience To Return The Next Week. It Kind Of Shifts The Drive Of The Story. But I Find That More As A Writer Than As A Director.

I Have One Of The Original 'ghostbusters' Guns In My House.

I'm Too Big A Fan Of Rhythm And Editing. I'd Much Rather My Editing Be Brave Than My Shooting.

I'm A Believer That People Need To Understand That Filmmaking Is Not A Perfect Process For Anybody. It Is A Process In Which You Find The Film And The Film Finds You. And That Is Every Film.

When I Look At 'napoleon Dynamite”s Style I'm Reminded Of How I Spoke When I Was An Eight-year-old Boy. It Was Just Like Capturing The Essence Of, 'duh!' It Was Just Like The Stuff That I Would Say When I Was Like Eight, Nine, Ten Years Old.
