Just making a movie the way 'All is Lost' had to be made was a great experience, because it was structured differently than any other film I will make for the rest of my life.

That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.

I can't do a film if I don't start with the writing.

I've never made any film that I wouldn't go back and re-edit.

I don't card out my screenplays ever. I just have an idea I just sit down and write I don't edit.

I could make the title of my memoirs: 'It's got cinematic disaster written all over it.'

I directed a movie and now, I'm going to do the editing.

I didn't know anything about writing a screenplay, but somehow I ended up rewriting a screenplay.

Directing has completely changed the way I write and watch films.
