When I Write A Film, All I

I've Been Very, Very Lucky In My Career, In My Life - From Day One. When Aspiring Directors Say, 'what's Your Advice?' First I Say, 'be Born The Son Of A Famous Director. It's Invaluable.'

I'm Not Going To Have A Perfect Career. It's Better To Be Billy Wilder And Make Lots Of Movies And Have Five Or Six Great Ones Than To Make So Few Movies That When You Make A Bad One It Crushes You.

Filmmaking Is A Completely Imperfect Art Form That Takes Years And, Over Those Years, The Movie Tells You What It Is. Mistakes Happen, Accidents Happen And True Great Films Are The Results Of Those Mistakes And The Decisions That Those Directors Make During Those Moments.

I Don't Believe In Director's Cuts Where You Make Things Longer. The Coolest Thing Was When The Coen Brothers Did A Director's Cut Of 'blood Simple,' And They Made It Shorter.

I'm Really Specific In The Way That I Shoot. I've Always Had A Very Good Sense Of What I Need In The Editing Room.
