I love just about every aspect of the filmmaking except acting. I would never be able to do that, but the rest I really enjoy.

I think acting is only one part of the piece of the movie. I'ts an important piece, but I'd like to be involved in all the other aspects of making movies.

I love the intimacy of making movies. The focus is deeper and much more intense than musical theatre.

I love filmmaking, and I love the process. And I would rather do nothing else. It's a privilege to be able to paint such big pictures, so to speak.

When I'm in a movie, what I always do, instead of sitting in a trailer or watching a DVD, is I go on the set and watch the director work and the actors work, and sometimes I'll hang out with B camera and watch what they're up to and ask questions because there's so much to learn about the medium.

Film work can be very interesting, but it also can be awfully boring because who creates the film? The actors? No. It is the director. It's his piece of work.

Making a movie and not directing the little moments is like drinking a soda and leaving the little slurp puddle for someone else.

I really got into filmmaking through photography.

I like the fact you can spend two hours setting up a scene that will only last a couple of seconds. And I like just sitting around and dozing between scenes!

As I began making my feature films, it was a great adventure. It was about constructing something I saw in my head or I had designed on storyboards and capturing that on film.

When you're making a film, it's a very technical process. You do things over and over again, and you have to hit your marks and your light and all that stuff.
