I could do it, ... I've actually figured out a way, even though the characters have gotten older, to do it. I just have to have the ambition to write it.
If you just love movies enough, you can make a good one.
To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I'm writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I'm going to play for the opening sequence.
I found this really fantastic used record store in Japan, and I bought all these different records and different 45s. And one of the 45s was just, it had the theme, "Green Leaves of Summer," the theme to "The Alamo" on one side, and then on the flip side was a theme to, the theme to "Magnificent Seven."
Movies are my religion and God is my patron. I'm lucky enough to be in the position where I don't make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; like I would die for it.
As a viewer, the minute I start getting confused, I check out of the movie. Emotionally, I'm severed.
I am a genre lover - everything from spaghetti western to samurai movie.
L.A. is so big that if you don't actually live in Hollywood, you might as well be from a different planet.
Emotion will always win over coolness and cleverness. It's when a scene works emotionally and it's cool and clever, then it's great. That's what you want.
If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.
I steal from every movie ever made.
I totally have no love for that whole romance for that Antebellum time period.
I have loved movies as the number one thing in my life so long that I can't ever remember a time when I didn't.
I couldn't spell anything. I couldn't remember anything, but I could go to a movie and I knew who starred in it, who directed it, everything.
