Every time I start a film I feel like I'm starting the first time, ever.

I like when you watch a film and you feel like you're a part of somebody's life for an hour and a half.

Everybody knows that I am not usually patient enough to actually sit down and watch one of my own films from the beginning to the end - I never do.

You learn real early to make a film and then duck, and basically that's how I go about it.

Every time I make a film, I feel it gives me the chance to learn something new.

For me, when I'm making a movie I like to stay in character throughout the day.

When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.

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.

Your nerves can get the better of you, especially when it's your first film.

I came from the theater playing leading roles, and when I started doing film and television, I felt as if I had to start from the bottom.
