You’ll Find That The Movie Business Is Paid For By Those Mega Movies. The Movie Business Is Paid For By Big Macs. By Movies As Product. Movie Studios Use That Term “product” All The Time. Product? You Mean You Have A Lot Of Stories? No, We Have A Lot Of Product. You Have Stories.

Filmmaking Isn’t If You Can Just Strap On A Camera Onto An Actor, And Steadicam, And Point It At Their Face, And Follow Them Through The Movie, That Is Not What Moviemaking Is, That Is Not What It’s About. It’s Not Just About Getting A Performance. It’s Also About The Psychology Of The Cinematic Moment, And The Psychology Of The Presentation Of That, Of That Window.

People Will Say, 'there Are A Million Ways To Shoot A Scene,' But I Don't Think So. I Think There Are Two, Maybe. And The Other One Is Wrong.

I Want To Make A Movie That Has Enough Impact That It's Going To Do What It Needs To Do. But I Don't Want To Make A Film That Serial Killers Masturbate To.

I Have Great Appreciation For People Who Do Anything Well. I Think That It's Very Difficult To Do What You Do Well.
