No one really tries to make sad films any more.
There’s a gentility to [the film], which I like, and I definitely think that’s the way my films have been progressing.
I'll tell you something, and this is true: I've never been able to write a film which I didn't respect, I just can't do it. I'm very happy about all the films I haven't done.
None of of my cinematic heroes are really nasty. I don’t see the value in being a dickhead.
