characters clothes dad jeff life puts recreate steve wear
I had Jeff Daniels wear my Dad's clothes. It wasn't because I wanted to recreate my Dad in any way, it's because by having those things there it warms me to the characters and the story, it puts me in it more, ... The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
dad eye jerk
My dad was a great movie companion. He wouldn't diminish 'The Jerk.' If I liked it, he liked it. He could see it through my eyes.
baseball dad team
I was late to the Knicks. My dad was a big fan. But I first started watching baseball; I became a Red Sox fan. My dad was a Mets fan. I wanted to have my own team and league.
dad thinking childhood
I like the way corduroys feel. I like the sort of jean aspect of corduroys, but also the texture of them. They probably remind me of my childhood, too, I think. I wore cords, and my dad had a corduroy jacket.
almost reminds simple spencer
There's something deceptively simple about how he acts. It reminds me of Spencer Tracy. It's almost like he isn't doing anything, but he is really doing so much.
car cars people run seen stand stopped
I've run into more people walking in L.A. than if I drove. Because you stand out so much if you walk. People from my past have stopped their cars and said, 'Hey!' But if I was in a car, they never would've seen me.
bernard care funny great
I wanted someone funny to play the part, but who was also a great actor. As Bernard he can be very off-putting, but there's also something that makes you want to take care of him.
less means money worth
There's always going to be some limit, and if it means I take less money to make a movie so that I can make the movie I want to make, then it's worth it to me.
rely script
I rely on her. She's the first person I show any script to.
adjust happening health life start
It's going to start really interfering with your quality of life, your health, if you don't adjust to life as it's happening to you.
closest entirely final
'Frances Ha' is the closest final product to what I had in my head of any movie I've made. I'm not entirely even sure why that is.
apart dissect enjoys pick produced trying whatever writer
I don't know any writer of fiction who enjoys trying to point out or dissect whatever they produced with strangers and let them go through it and pick apart what's real and what isn't.
claim families relatively
I think if we taped a lot of families that claim to be relatively normal, you'd be surprised when you hear some of the things said.
shooting shot time ways
'The Squid and the Whale' I shot in 23 days. I would have loved more time for it at the time, but in some ways that kind of kamikaze way of shooting was right for that movie.
