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.
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.
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.
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.
interesting mind stories
Usually when I'm making a movie, what I have in mind first, for the visuals, is how we can stage the scenes to bring them more to life in the most interesting way, and then how we can make a world for the story that the audience hasn't quite been in before.
tired night watches
When you finish work, practically everybody in that place is going to watch a movie at night anyway. They're tired. They have dinner. They go up to their room. They're watching TV.
eagles play guy
I will say that Edward Norton, who plays the scout master, would be a first-rate Eagle Scout. He's got all those techniques. If your plane crashes into the jungle somewhere, he would be the guy you would want to have with you.
