unique giving people
When you try to portray people's lives, you try to make sure you don't portray them as clowns and that you give them a level of dignity. You don't try to change their persona, but you try to understand that they had unique problems, set in a century that you don't live.
reality thinking long
I think that you try to raise the bar on whatever you do because you know, in this day of having to deal with a lot of reality TV, people say that scripted programming is dying, so you have to try to create something that can live in people's minds, long after they see it.
writing should should-i
I don't read as much as I'd like. I've been writing a lot. I've been doing a lot of music, but I don't read as much as I should. I just don't.
weekend thumbs-down thumbs-up
I want to be a part of something, and when we define movies now based on how they do on the weekend. We live in a society of "thumbs up, thumbs down."
years fifty stills
If it's fifty years from now and it still has the same value, that's a movie.
jobs thinking hollywood
I think I just wanted to work when I finally came to Hollywood. That's what it was. I wanted to get a job, and then I wanted to get the second one.
should persons
The movies helped define how I should be as a person.
pressure tendencies under-pressure
I deal with pressure. I have a tendency to probably be at my best under pressure.
hard-work schedules bothered
It's never bothered me to work hard. I've probably worked on some of the longest schedules in movie history.
thinking want cheese
Sometimes it takes a partner to say, "What is it you want?" because I think we operate in life and sometimes we don't know. We're all in some kind of maze going after the cheese at the end, and we get it and we go, "What is it that we want?"
worry focus sometimes
Sometimes we worry about the things that you know that matter the least and don't focus on the things that matter the most.
fall moving thinking
When I read a story that I think has value and I want to be in it, that doesn't change for me. It doesn't fall out of favor for me. I might have to move on because the universe is saying you can't make this right now. But I'm going to circle back and make it.
sorry thinking needs
If you're willing to tell somebody that you love them, are you also willing to say you're sorry? You need to, even when you think you're in the right.
regret perfect decision
I haven't lived a perfect life. I have regrets. But that's from a lifetime of taking chances, making decisions, and trying not to be frozen. The only thing that I can do with my regrets is understand them.
