"You have to examine a scene on the page first. Then you get into the basics of acting: Who are you? Who are you talking to? How do you feel about that person?"
First
"But it was not possible to do this movie, in this matter of time, without a solid rehearsal period."
Time
"That's the only way I can control my movie. If you shoot everything, then everything is liable to end up in the movie. If you have a vision, you don't have to cover every scene."
Control
"I design my shots. I walk the rehearsal as the camera and say 'this is where I want to be... I want this look."
Design
"The production team's first meeting took place at my house. I had ideas and a color scheme in mind, how I wanted the movie to look, because that has to be a real collaboration."
Ideas
"I didn't need the insurance. I do it again if my DP tells me it didn't look good in the camera or if the actors didn't hit their marks. But if everything was working why do it again?"
Actor
"In scoring we have a lot that was not evident in the shooting. The radio is on all the time."
Time
"There are some scenes that work beautifully in a moving, sweeping master, which is how I like to work."
Work
"The biggest challenge was that we had to shoot so quickly and with such a limited budget."
Challenge
"The clothes back in those days were made so much better than clothes are today. They actually took time to make clothes to fit a woman's body. Today they make clothes that fit sizes, so it stretches to fit this and that."
Time

"Except during the nine months before he draws his first breath, no man manages his affairs as well as a tree does."

"But then there was Hendrix, man. Jimi was really the last cat to freak me. Jimi was playing all the stuff I had in my head. I couldn't believe it, when I first heard him. Man, no one can ever do what he did with a guitar. No one can ever take his place."
