One Of The Things I Enjoyed The

A Lot Of People Have Said My Movies Are All The Same. But I Don't Actually Make An Effort To Have A Style. I'm Usually Just Thinking Of What Can We Do To Make It Funnier Or More Interesting Or Just Kind Of Refine It And It Ends Up Like That.

What Happened To Your Hand? It Got Hit By A Mirror. How'd That Happen? I Lost My Temper At Myself.

If I Have Ideas, I Want To Put Them In The Movie. It's Not A Minimalist Approach At All But I Feel Like It's For The Audience. It's About Seeing How Much Texture We Can Give It And Seeing How Many Things Are There For People To Latch On To... I Just Want To Do It The Way I Want And I Feel Like It Won't Be Helpful For Me If I Start Worrying About That. I Just Have To Follow My Instincts. Everyone Is Going To Respond Differently To It And Everybody's Right - That's Their Point Of View. That's How The Story Intersects With Their Lives.

Kids Are Always Open To Anything. It's Very Rare That A Kid Isn't Extremely Eager To Make You Happy.

If Somebody Asks Me About The Themes Of Something I'm Working On, I Never Have Any Idea What The Themes Are. . . . Somebody Tells Me The Themes Later. I Sort Of Try To Avoid Developing Themes. I Want To Just Keep It A Little Bit More Abstract. But Then, What Ends Up Happening Is, They Say, 'well, I See A Lot Here That You Did Before, And It's Connected To This Other Movie You Did,' And . . . That Almost Seems Like Something I Don't Quite Choose. It Chooses Me.
