paris streets walking
Paris is a place where, for me, just walking down a street that I've never been down before is like going to a movie...
ideas different kind
Anytime I make a movie, I really have absolutely no idea how it's going to go over. I've had the whole range of different kinds of reactions.
kids understanding want
The kids are the ones that have a clarity about what they want. They don't have any wisdom, but they do have a clear understanding about what they want to have happen.
lonely memorable thinking
There's no story if there isn't some conflict. The memorable things are usually not how pulled together everybody is. I think everybody feels lonely and trapped sometimes. I would think it's more or less the norm.
mirrors hands lost
What happened to your hand? It got hit by a mirror. How'd that happen? I lost my temper at myself.
actors my-time
I love working with actors. That's what the set really is, for me. It's my time with the actors.
prototype expensive
A prototype is always more expensive than anything.
adventure challenges trying
I don't really look for challenges as much as I like adventures. Other than that I'm just trying to find stories I want to tell.
ideas together ingredients
When I see the first dailies on any movie, I usually feel that I had no idea how this combination of ingredients was going to mix together, what it was going to produce.
levels different reviews
I've never had a movie that got great reviews. I've had movies that got different levels of good and bad reviews, but you can more or less count on plenty of bad reviews.
details obsessed bothered
I wouldn't say that I'm particularly bothered or obsessed with detail.
kids make-you-happy
Kids are always open to anything. It's very rare that a kid isn't extremely eager to make you happy.
heartbroken feelings inspired
I just now put [Robert Altman] down feeling heartbroken but happily and deeply inspired. . . . Wonderful.
editing sometimes
Sometimes when you're editing a movie, you have the thing that you don't expect - which is you make it longer and longer as you go along.
