Quote

I'll watch anything, from action to art films.

Cary Grant was one of the most marvelous men I've ever met.

Me, as a moviegoer, before being a filmmaker, I try to think about what movie I would like to see.

I really, really love directing films.

I had grown up thinking of movies as something to eat popcorn with. Bergman and the other European directors were the first ones to open my eyes to film as art.

I would love to do films - ones that get seen.

I always adored Cary Grant. I was fascinated by him. But I could never get too close to him.

Really, what I'm doing is an attempt to continue the best work of the people I adore: Francis Coppola and Scorsese and Robert Altman and Stanley Kubrick and those amazing directors whose work I grew up with and loved.

If people ask me, 'For you, what is your most important film?' I have a feeling that they all sort of want me to answer with one of the Bergman films. But I cannot choose.

I think watching Channing Tatum caress his Lego Oscar statue will be something I won't forget. Even if I try.
