trying looks film
I always try to stay objective, and to remove myself from the process and look at the film again.
writing lines want
On 'Stranger Than Fiction,' the script was so good that I stuck to every line because it was just such brilliant writing from Zach Helm that I felt like I really just want to shoot the page.
action action-movie wanted
I always wanted to do an action movie, not particularly Bond.
editing shooting rooms
I realized that a lot of the great directors that I admire from [Ingmar] Bergman to [Fredrico] Fellini re always shooting, then going into the editing room, and shooting again.
war book creating
One of the main reasons I wanted to work on 'World War Z' was because I'm a huge fan of the book, and I love the idea of taking a non-linear story and creating a three-act structure out of it.
thinking people constant
I think people, unfortunately, do live in constant fear.
past guy kites
For me, 'The Kite Runner' became about a guy who's emotionally shut down because he hasn't confronted his past.
pace way transition
I don't see myself as having made the transition. I aim to be more transient than transitional. Life is constantly changing, now at a rate faster than ever, so being in a transitory state is the best way to keep pace.
children keys world
The key thing is that you start every film from sort of a blank page, almost like you discover it like a child discovers a new world.
brother father fighting
Three days after my brother died, my father was in the hospital. He just did not want to live anymore. Before, he was fighting and loving life.
mean telling-stories stories
What I'm passionate about is telling stories which mean something to me.
