We identify the flag with almost everything we hold dear on earth, peace, security, liberty, our family, our friends, our home. . .But when we look at our flag and behold it emblazoned with all our rights we must remember that it is equally a symbol of our duties. Every glory that we associate with it is the result of duty done.
Life is more important than 'what film I do next.
Once you get the right image the details aren't that important.

My solution to the problem of unleashingÂ creativityÂ is always to set up a target.
You know, sometimes I feel like I walk around with a target on my back with the films I make.
