For me, it's important that the script is good. Then a good director will want to make it.

I always choose my projects for the script or what the director want to tell with that story. And if I like the story.

I have tried to make decisions to work with great directors, with good scripts, and that makes the pickings real slim.

You pick projects for the part, the director, and the script. I just want to do different, interesting stuff.

Typically, I work with the script and the director for awhile before, just to make sure we're on the same page.

I feel that I don't have to wait around for good scripts anymore, that I can get things moving more quickly. I can ring up directors I like and say I'm keen to work with them, which is pretty great.

I'm never happy with the work I put in. No. I need to be told by my director and people around me that it is fine. Otherwise, I'll even go, like, 'One more take.'

What I look for in a script is something that challenges me, something that breaks new ground, something that allows me to flex my director muscle. You have got to think fast in this business, you've got to keep reinventing yourself to stay on top.

For me, each film, each script is like a little journey in itself, and I'm reinventing the wheel. It's like, 'How do I make this film?' That's part of the pleasure, and that's why I'm not a normal professional director.

I just choose the scripts I want to work on. I don't know why. It's not something conscious or that I'm doing on purpose.
