Everything makes me nervous - except making films.
A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.
You are not just here to fill space or be a background character in someone else's movie. Consider this: nothing would be the same if you did not exist.

Directing ain't about drawing a neat little picture and showing it to the cameraman. I didn't want to go to film school. I didn't know what the point was. The fact is, you don't know what directing is until the sun is setting and you've got to get five shots and you're only going to get two.
