I like films that are well-written and concise and with not a lot of room for improvisation.

I like films to be complete in their written form.

I would rather my films be well-known than I be well-known.

If a film is very clever and well-written, that's what gives you freedom as a director.

I never storyboard. I hate it. I don't understand why so many directors want to make comic strips of their films.

Working with a bunch of actors is like trying to tune each violin.
