Don't you think... the festival has, I don't know, gone a little funny this year?
So we had this moment with the fly, and we all thought: 'Well, you can't hope to direct a fly. If it walks around a bit, that will be enough.'
This film is all about questions and gracefully not about answers. This film steers away from that.
It may be unfair of me but I do feel I know it.
I knew Spike Jonze would do something really interesting with it.
I wasn't around when Nic was playing Donald. I was around with Charlie.
Nic's Charlie is something very particular. You can't really put them together. It's a phantasm.
What he's done is recognise the cinematic nature of the book. It's beautifully realised - it's a beat film.
I'm from the same planet as David Bowie.
I've been on the other side of the table many times, trying to get people to be sympathetic to projects, and I've been the victim of that kind of intense kindness masking extreme stupidity.
George [Clooney] and I do have the aim one day to be in a film where we say one nice thing to each other. Hopefully one day.
Maybe it was my revenge on people who had been unkind to me as a child. But it was very easy and a thrill to freeze up children.
I would say, and this sounds like a rather immodest thing to say, but the truth is it's probably the most amazing thing of all, it's pretty much exactly what I thought we were going to make, what I hoped we'd make.
The whole thing of working in collaboration with filmmakers is the thing that I love the most, and possibly the thing I do the best.
