I feel I have to protect myself against things. So I'm pretty careful to lose most of them.

As a director, my job is to protect. I protect scripts, actors, cameramen, designers.

A lot of my business is about protecting creativity.

Usually, the stuff that's your best idea or work is going to be attacked the most.

I've always retained my privacy, but now I protect it even more.

I am usually protective of my work, not showing it to anyone until it has been redrafted and polished.

I like the privacy of my life and I protect it quite vigilantly.

You have to protect it too, you can't let just any stupid person take it and do something demoralizing with it. At the same time, I don't believe in being so rigid about controlling what happens either.

Every new writing project, every new artistic project, needs to be protected so it can grow on its own before it begins to creep out into the world.

Protect me from what I want.
