The Worst Thing Is That You Used

I Think Casting Is Really Important. Finding The Right Sensibility For The Right Part Is An Art In Itself. If You're Off There, You Make It Harder On Yourself As A Director. And It's Fun To Work That Out With The Actors. I Don't Think There's Any Magic To Directing Actors. It's Very Instinctual. Working With Actors Is Really One Of My Favorite Creative Moments Of The Whole Process, And The Most Fun, Because It's Collaborative. I Spend A Lot Of Time Rehearsing. I'm Very Rehearsal-oriented, Probably Because I Have Some Background In Theater. I Like Knowing What Will Work Beforehand.

Well, You Have To Keep Your Faith In The Fact That There Are A Lot Of Intelligent People Who Are Actively Looking For Something Interesting, People Who Have Been Disappointed So Many Times.

There Are A Million Ideas In A World Of Stories. Humans Are Storytelling Animals. Everything's A Story, Everyone's Got Stories, We're Perceiving Stories, We're Interested In Stories. So To Me, The Big Nut To Crack Is To How To Tell A Story, What's The Right Way To Tell A Particular Story.

Slackers Might Look Like The Left-behinds Of Society, But They Are Actually One Step Ahead, Rejecting Most Of Society And The Social Hierarchy Before It Rejects Them. The Dictionary Defines Slackers As People Who Evade Duties And Responsibilities.

I Think I Got Really Lucky With Slacker. That Was A Film That Probably Shouldn't Have Been Seen.
