I had a very strong background in journalism, so it's my instinct to try to be as fair and accurate as possible.

Once you turn on the camera, making a movie is making a movie. I don't care if it's $9 million dollars or $50 million dollars. You have bigger toys, bigger set, actors who are better paid, but once you turn on the camera, it's director and performance, and I don't find a big difference.

When a director is also a writer, everyone on the production looks to him, knowing he gave birth to the idea. There's a different level of viability.
