All I know is movies; I went to school, but movies are my reference point for everything. I figured I'd have to P.A. or intern in the art department.

Luc Dardenne
I think I veered towards filmmaking because there's more of a sense of control in it. You're not waiting to be picked.

It was all a big beautiful snake eating its tail, progressing along the way. View quote

Feature filmmaking is a different kind of complication as documentary comes in the editing room. View quote

Adaptations are fun for me because they connect to the idea of filmmaking I had when I was a kid. I would see a movie and think: 'I'm gonna make that movie.' (Noah Baumbach)
But I would say maybe just from an actress's perspective, probably 'Woman Under the Influence' is the best movie of all time. The style of filmmaking and the performances... you don't feel like you're watching a film. View quote

I feel like when you do things with such a small budget, it actually makes you be more creative... and allows you to concentrate more on the story and the characters. I think that there is something about dirty, gritty and raw filmmaking that makes it feel a little more natural and makes it easier to connect with the action. View quote
Oren Peli
I've been having a lot of fun exploring different aspects of filmmaking, like writing and producing. There isn't a specific plan and I usually don't know what's going to be the next thing I do. View quote

What's important in the filmmaking process has stayed the same. Keep it small, keep it personal, keep it authentic, work with people you like and trust. That process is much longer than the filmmaking process. The development process is a long one, so try and say something of importance. View quote
Simon Beaufoy
I suppose once in a while, a filmmaker makes a movie that's more than just a sum of its parts, more than good acting or good filmmaking. It's something else that has nothing to do with what you've done. This is in 1999, made by people in 1999 for people in 1999 about people in 1999. View quote
Sam Mendes
