Really, It's The Director's Job To Disappear

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.

It's Easy To Get Caught Up In A Moment And Think, 'oh, I've Been Offered Some Giant Studio Film Or A Superhero Franchise Or Some Actor Wants To Meet With Me About A Project They Want To Do.' And It's Easy To Get Caught Up In A Moment Because It's Flattering. But You Can't Do A Movie Because It's Flattering.

When It Comes To Casting, I've Been So Lucky. I've Worked With Unbelievable Actors Who Make Me Look Better Than I Am And Take The Written Word And Make It Honest.

When I Write A Film, All I Think About Is Where The Thing Ends And How To Get The Audience There.

There Are Only So Many Movies You Can Direct. And Yet There Are Movies That I Want To Make Sure Make It To The Screen In As Honest A Way As Possible.
