I enjoy scenes in films, which do not have the pressure of the story so much... and it flows. I've tried to go in that direction.

I went to film school to make films just because you're in control of the story.

Any film I've made, I've only really begun to understand in the cutting room. That's when the story shows itself to you, like a wreck coming out of the sea.

I generally don't walk out of films. If I start a book, and I don't love it by page 100, I will stop reading because it's just too much of a time commitment. But you never know with a movie what's going to turn around.

I feel like I've come out of this grown up, maybe because I live through the character vicariously and she grows up so much during the course of this story.

I love movies. And I dig a great love story: the kind that wrecks me, then builds me back up and leaves me inspired. I write what I want to see.

I like to leave a film open-ended, with a lingering feeling. I'll not do sequels of any of my films till I have subjects to explore.

All the movies that I make in some ways have to be the story of my life. There are different chapters in my life.
