I do want to direct a movie from horseback one day.
You have to tease enough misinformation and lack of information to hopefully make people want more.
There are a lot of movies I would want to be a fly on the wall for. I would have loved to see the making of Jaws [1975], with all the fears and anxieties it was going to be a complete failure, and then to have it turn into the first blockbuster.
I want to be happy while I make movies and not just do things just to work. I want to do things I spend years on.
One of the great things about working with Focus is that you're never forced, especially with a film with low budget. The pressure is sort of off. It's like it's so under the radar in a sense that you can cast whoever you want.
If you have something really important you want to say, you have to read your audience, I guess.
If you really want to tell someone you love them, you don't just go and blurt it out. There's a dance. And your movie does that.
I'm pretty hard to impress, and I'm pretty exacting, in terms of what I want from my props department and art department. We spend many, many hours going over visual research and finding the right artists to create the material.
