I almost forgot what it's like to be proud of my government.
A lot of why I do something is just the novelty of the experience.
The best films of any kind, narrative or documentary, provoke questions.
It's dismaying to see the unilateralism that the government is doing.
People wrestle sometimes making movies, and I think that conflict is a very essential thing. I think a lot of very happy productions have produced a lot of very banal movies.
Anybody who is running a marathon or doing a walkathon, doing a fundraiser for their school, their company, by far it's guaranteed the easiest and most fun way to quickly set up a fundraising campaign and send it around to your friends and family.
Just because you've made a couple movies, you've done some good movies, you've been nominated for some Academy Awards, whatever, nobody's entitled. It's a business. If they don't see it, I can think they're wrong, but I'm not entitled to a $15 million budget to make a film.
I'm not particularly precious about the theatrical experience any more.
If you've got a piece and you can feel the person who's going to direct it is really made for it, if it's really special for them, then it's going to be a better-than-usual experience.
I like making movies for myself and my friends and people with my sensibility.
I grew up on the golden age of children's TV.
I just love movies.
