When I Write A Film, All I

The First Set I Remember Was 'ghostbusters.' It Was A Scene In Which The Street Erupted. I Remember Even At Seven Years Old Thinking, 'wow, If You Direct A Movie, You Can Break The Streets Of New York.'

'election' Is A Movie I'd Give A Leg To Cross The Director's Name Out And Put Mine In.

I Don't Want To Make Films That Give You The Answer. If There Is A Message To My Films - And I Hope There Isn't - It's To Be Open-minded.

What I Do Feel Is That 'up In The Air' Is The Most Indicative Film Of 2009. It Is The Portrait Of 2009.

Growing Up The Son Of A Director Has Made Me Very Aware Of The Various Turns That A Directing Career Can Take. Sometimes Your Films Turn Out Exactly As You Want. Sometimes They Don't. I Spent A Lot Of My Childhood On Sets. I Think As A Joke, My Father Gave Me A Line Of Dialogue In Each Of His Films During The Worst Moments Of My Puberty.
