Das tolle am Regieführen und einen Film fertig zu stellen ist: Es gibt nichts, was ich noch mehr tun kann. Er ist fertig. Damit hat sich's. Alles was ich dann noch tun kann ist, ihn zu veröffentlichen und hoffen, dass die Leute nett mit ihm umgehen.
I do not want to admit to the world that I can be a bad person. It is just that I don't want anyone to have false expectations. Moviemaking is a harsh, volatile business, and unless you can be ruthless, too, there's a good chance that you are going to disappear off the scene pretty quickly.

The most accurate representation of how I feel is that I'm incredibly lucky to be working in this structure where people get paid millions to read the news on TV. And, yes, it is insane.
