Well, I think that a lot of times when you're working on a film, there aren't really opportunities to get to know all the people you have to work with.

People with film careers get a whole onslaught of people they spend 12 hours a day with every three months. It's like speed dating. You've got a fast-track to social intimacy with a whole bunch of people.

A big part of filmmaking is gathering a group of people you can work with.

I have always done films with friends rather than strangers.

There's something really nice about not sitting separate from the crew in some massive trailer away from the studio. To actually be there with them, it's more of a creative process.

I feel like movie stars don't have many friends at all. They have acquaintances.

I have people around me. I have a semi-permanent crew. If I make a film, they just turn up. They don't even invite themselves. They don't ask if they can come - they just turn up!

There are a lot of movies made for nobody.

The industry has to have the audience in order to make these films. So it's a serious thing - how do you get people to leave their houses and go to the theater?

It's almost impossible to get a movie all together when there are two main cast members, let alone an ensemble cast with everyone's schedules. It's crazy if it works out.
