I always say ideas are like fishing,

Cinema is a medium that can translate ideas.

I let the actors work out their ideas before shooting, then tell them what attitudes I want. If a scene isn't honest, it stands out like a sore thumb.

The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.

I have no problem getting financing. I have a problem catching ideas that I fall in love with for the next feature.

Shark fishing is not like tuna fishing. Your chances of catching one are good.
