With 'Gone Girl,' I sat down, and suddenly the end credits were rolling; you just become so engrossed in it.

My wife and I were in a band and worked together on and off since we were 19 or 20.

A scene gets cut a few frames here and there, but there's a cumulative effect to it, and then the music needs to be reworked. It's demanding, but when you see the improved cuts, it's always better.

You know, you do need mentors, but in the end, you really just need to believe in yourself.

Glance into the world just as though time were gone: and everything crooked will become straight to you.

Personally, I do the best work with people I'm closest with. I know what their tastes are, and they are similar to mine. That close personal relationship is what delivers the best work.
