I can say, hands down, 'Annapolis' is the most challenging film I've ever taken on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Movies were a struggle for me - they didn't come easy.
Film is the toughest one for me, as there are many fingers in the pot, so it can be disappointing. However, to have your work seen on such a large scale, that's a very exciting prospect.
Directing film is the hardest thing I have ever done.
Robert Altman's 'Nashville' is my all-time favorite film because it covers all the bases - it's original, moving, and has something to say, but also funny and incredibly entertaining.
The best movies are simple.
The best films in the world, you've got to beg and plead and try your best to get.
The most serious film can be the most fun. The one that's supposed to be fun can be the most serious.
'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' is one of the greatest films of all time.
I'm not looking for a challenge, necessarily. I'm looking to make a really great film.
I find titles the hardest thing. I was worried that 'Waste Land' was too much of a downer. For me, 'The Crash Reel' confronts what the film is about: it's not just about the reality of a crash, it's about the extremity we all face, and what happens when life crashes on you.
