It's a director's job to tell a story and he's very well versed in telling stories with a bit of comedy in them and keeping the pace of the movie right and that's exactly what he did. He was observant of a world he didn't understand but he told a wonderful story.

I have always believed that directing a film is like telling a story. You have to tell it well so that it is appreciated.

The thing is, as a film director, you're essentially alone: You have to tell a story primarily through pictures, and only you know the film you see in your head.

Film-makers must decide what story to tell and how to tell it.

As a filmmaker, the only way that I understand how to make a film is holistically.

I think film, to me, as a director, is about telling a story.

I think the most experimental way to a film is to tell the story the traditional way, because everyone is doing the other thing.

Film is a dramatised reality and it is the director's job to make it appear real... an audience should not be conscious of technique.

As a filmmaker and film student, I think it's really interesting to hear what a director did and how they figured out how to do things.
