Tough love - I'm kind of weary of that. I don't think it's so effective.

I'm most interested in working and learning from different people and telling good stories.

We had a script that was really solid and we knew how we were going to shoot and how the energy of it was going to go. So it gave us a lot of freedom to use the camera as a character.

I love vampire movies. I think they are sexy.

I like working in any medium. Who's making it? How much do I like the story? Does it contribute something?

I was put on a surfboard by a cute boyfriend in high school.

It's hard to make something collaboratively. That's the challenge. Sometimes you're successful.

I got to work with Gene Hackman for six weeks, side by side, 12 hours a day.

High school you dont want to go back and do it over again.

People are not perfect... very often the relationships that are strongest are those where people have worked through big crises, but they've had to work through them. So the challenge to us is to work through that.

How strange it is that murder has the sanction of law in one and only one of the human relationships, and that is the most important of all, that of nation to nation.

I've had a couple of long relationships. And I've had a couple of shorter relationships.
