I've done all the other kind of production work on films than directing really badly. That is the truth. It's made me a better director because I feel like directing is the only thing I can really do.

I'm one of those people that think that what you put up on screen, no matter how you're stating it, is usually an advertisement for it. Even if I'm saying it's really bad to do this, or it's really good to do this - regardless, the fact that it's on film, presented in this huge way, is appealing.

I just want to make different movies. I want them to be things that I care about and not to repeat myself.
