I always try to describe making movies like summer camp, or some holiday where you spend all day, every day with a new group of people whom you kind of love and then never see again.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like doing movies that relate to people's experience.
A lot of movies you do because they're fun, they make people forget about their day.
Making a movie is like an accelerated version of growing up with someone. You spend so many hours a day with each other, and you're putting your heart into this same effort.
Once a month the sky falls on my head, I come to and I see another movie I want to make.
I like making movies that people feel inspired by, a film that they will think about a few days after seeing it, and not entertainment that is completely forgettable the moment you walk out of the theater.
People are losing jobs, people need to be entertained, and I want to make movies that parents and children can look forward to seeing, that can become a kind of family ritual.
For me, making films is about trying to work something out by myself in quite a lonely way. I find the whole thing very lonely really.
I tend to make movies about my peer group. I couldn't see myself now going back and making a movie about a bunch of college kids, necessarily. I kind of always operate in the things I'm observing around me, whether it's friends having babies now in my life or what have you.
Growing up I always loved films that transport you to another world and has things you never see in every day life.
I'm having a vacation, and it's so beautiful, and maybe I'll never get another film idea in my life.
