I think that there’s an infinite amount of places where you can stick a camera. There’s an infinite amount of choices of what could be going on. There’s an infinite amount of places for so many things, so you have to figure out how to do your job.

I’m not sure where the artistry in film making is. It’s usually that moment when you’re on set and you’re working with the actors.

I think people are people and, if their feelings are truthful, they can connect. It doesn’t matter if you’re an aging, 50-something wrestler at the end of his career, or an ambitious, 20-something ballet dancer.

That’s the time to play around, the moment of theater. And then you can shape things. But a lot of it is just managing stuff. It’s upsetting because you get away from the core.

I try to live my life where I end up at a point where I have no regrets. So I try to choose the road that I have the most passion on because then you can never really blame yourself for making the wrong choices. You can always say you’re following your passion.

I think I came to film-making through writing. I started to write, and people, teachers, responded to my writing.

Teacher Thinking Writing
I’ve tried to take a chance with every film I’ve done – I’ve never done it the easy way, and I think that’s because that’s what excites me, is making as big a mountain as I can in front of me, and just trying to mount it.

If you think of that, as a parent, you know that if you have too much justice and you’re too strict, you destroy a child. If you have too much mercy, as a parent, you destroy a child as well. A big part of this movie is Noah finding mercy for man.
