I Believe That Filmmaking - As, Probably, Is Everything - Is A Game You Should Play With All Your Cards, And All Your Dice, And Whatever Else You've Got. So, Each Time I Make A Movie, I Give It Everything I Have. I Think Everyone Should, And I Think Everyone Should Do Everything They Do That Way.

A Lot Of The Young People Make Beautiful Films Or Big Films Or Are Able To Finance Them, But They Can't Get Anyone To Distribute Them, They Can't Get Anyone To See Them, So They Go To These Thousands Of Film Festivals. So I Still Believe That Even Though A Young Kid Might Be Able To Make A Masterpiece Or Something That Changes The Direction Of Cinema, The Issue Of How To Get It To People Is Still Not Solved.

So Give Yourself That Chance To Put Together The 80, 90 Pages Of A Draft And Then Read It Very In A Nice Little Ceremony, Where You're Comfortable, And You Read It And Make Good Notes On It, What You Liked, What Touched You, What Moved You, What's A Possible Way, And Then You Go About On A Rewrite.
