Awards movies are normally sort of... life-affirming and noble. It's probably too much of an intellectual conceit and, you know, people don't like it when you don't lead the bad guy off in cuffs.

It's based not only on what it played like in the theater, but it's also knowing that certain things play differently in a home theater environment. You have different expectations when you're sitting with 700 people than when you're sitting with your friends or family. It's just a different world.

You can’t take everything on. That’s why when people ask how does this film fit into my oeuvre. I say 'I don’t know. I don’t think in those terms’. If I did, I might become incapacitated by fear . . . How do you eat a whale? One bite at a time. How do you shoot a 150-day movie? You shoot it one day at a time.

It's a bad day when you don't get the work done that you need to get done or you don't get it done to the satisfaction.

Sometimes people freak out when you shoot 40 takes of something. They start looking at you like, What did I do wrong?, and its like No. It's not wrong. It's just that we are going to try something different.

I've never been to Harvard, I've never been to college, so I don't know what dorm life is like.

People go to the movies to see things they haven’t seen before. Call me a radical.

It's a very American thing to hide away from death.

I have great appreciation for people who do anything well. I think that it's very difficult to do what you do well.
