almost love scene
I love when a scene can almost be boring because it's so honest, you know.
best far learned loving movies normal schooling
I have no schooling in any normal sense but have learned from the best as far as just doing things. I learned filmmaking from loving movies and then just saying, 'OK, let's do it.'
job movies
I've done every job in the world, and movies, the only thing close to a movie that I've ever done is it's kind of like being in a band.
casting circus intense life music relationships talk three
It's weird: making a movie is like life compacted into three months. You have these very intense relationships with people, and you talk to them every day - your editor, the casting people, music people, your actors - then it ends. It's like a circus life.
kids life
A story about my life should not be particularly interesting, but it is: it's just about me and some kids who didn't know how to talk to each other. It's personal but not autobiographical.
human people side tap
Some people have this crazy talent that makes you tap into a human side as well, even with all their fame.
movies
Sometimes I find some movies patronizing, which I feel is the ultimate crime.
war
I have friends who have had PTSD, and you can get it from other things than war.
I don't ever take a break. I'm always writing.
favorite guy love movies seen simply six terrible
One of my favorite movies that I've ever seen is '25th Hour.' I love it so much because it's simply about a guy who's going to jail for six years, and this slow, terrible day he has.
life
Life is tricky - you never know what's going to happen.
bummed life says
You don't get many chances in life to make a movie, and if someone says they don't like it, I say, 'I do'. I've made records before, and if someone said it sucked, it bummed me out.
bring eager enjoy exciting experience festival festivals films opening people watch
If you get to bring a little movie on the festival circuit, it's a nice experience because you get to see it with an audience. People who go to festivals to watch films are usually a little more eager to enjoy them. It's exciting because it's like you're going to the film's opening night at every festival.
work
If you're going to come wanting to work really hard, you're never going to bum me out.
