Filmmakers need to realize that their job isn't done when they lock picture. We must see our films through.

I was very insecure approaching the idea of directing a feature film. I told myself I would not move until I felt I was moving in power rather than moving in desperation to make a movie.

Yeah, a few of the films I made were so bad they didn't get released - they escaped.

I think I took my eye off the ball. From about 2005, 2006, 2007, I was out of it. I thought I could oversee movies and have it done for me, so to speak.

I haven't signed as many films as I'd like to because there are no good roles, as disheartening as it is to say.

You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise.

I took an incredibly roundabout route getting into feature films.

I feel that I've been very fortunate in the films that I have gotten and that I've chosen to do.

When I worked on 2001 - which was my first feature film - I was deeply and permanently affected by the notion that a movie could be like a first-person experience.
