"In film and television we are oftentimes so pampered that the truths are withheld."

"I do love DVD and I've always taken them seriously. You know, on the Austin things, we really put a ton of work into them because there's so much design involved. And in this one, we thought a lot about it and what could go in."
"I learn so much from watching films like that with commentary and then when you get to hear another filmmaker talk about their films it's a really great experience."
