That Is Definitely A Misunderstanding Between Me

I Always Have To Presume That Each Movie Is My Last Movie Because I Never Know If I'll Get Money Again.

Casting Is Great Fun, Except For The Business Of It. I Love The Casting Process. I Love The Editing Process. I Love Working With The Music. And Even Prep Is Very Exciting. But Once You Get There And The Clock Is Ticking, All It Is Is Stress.

You Always Have To Be Ahead Of The Audience So That They Have To Always Catch Up And Know The Movie's Not Quite Going Exactly Where You Think It's Going, Or Expecting It To Be Going.

People Call You "director," But It Really Should Be "economic Manager." Because Everything Is "well, We Can Do Another Take Here, But Then You're Gonna Lose That Shot Over There." Or "the Sun's Going Down, Sorry, You're Outta Luck. We Can't Afford To." You Know? And Meanwhile, How Do You Get The Performer's Performance? I'm Thinking The Whole Time All About "how Can I Get My Day Done?" And My Performances Are Primarily A Result Of Casting The Right People At The Right Time In The Right Parts. And Then I Do Little Modifications.

The Funny Thing Is, Strangers Still Seem To Feel Comfortable Coming Up To Me And Saying Things, But Now Usually It’s Because They Recognize Me, And They Say Nice Things.
