Understand life's mysteries, - as mysteries to be lived.
As a filmmaker, you're always supposed to be with your characters, in all movies, even if they're villains.
No matter how many obstacles that are thrown in our path, there are ways to except them and to live through them.
We don't function well as human beings when we're in isolation.
I've always said that movies are kind of like love affairs. Two people come together, and if they're at the right place at the right time and it's the right situation, it clicks. I've always felt that I've connected with screenplays. It's the romantic in me.
All artists are anarchists in some way - some more extreme than others, but it's something that I think artists are supposed to do. We're supposed to present a different angle on everything, and I certainly think it is [art] as much as poetry, in my opinion.
I think the thing that I love the most about working in the digital cinema is that you're only limited in your cinematic technique by your imagination - you're not restricted by the physical laws of nature.

In the next couple of years, part of every film's process is going to be to adjust the images. And it'll be to change the color of an actor's tie or change the little smirky thing he's doing with his mouth. Or you can put in more clouds or move the tree a little bit.

You can't legislate sobriety.
Movies are movies. Some bend light through a lens. Some create moving images virtually. At the end of the day, movies are movies.
From where I sit I see the digital cinema creating sloppiness on the part of filmmakers because they know if they really get in trouble they can fix it later. So they don't pay that much attention, and of course it costs a lot of money.
I'm addicted to documentaries. That's all I watch on television.
I could never be like Hitchcock and do only one kind of movie. Anything that's good is worthwhile.
