I worked regularly from very early on, and some of it was probably a bit premature.

The thing with the Bourne movies is that they’re so big in scope and the production value is so high and it takes so much organization.

I’m not good at keeping secrets. If I’m entrusted with a secret from a friend, I can do that because I’m a good friend, but I don’t like having secrets, it makes me nervous.

I did a run of a play over the summer in a really tiny theater in New York and that was rejuvenating for me. I directed a short series for Hulu called Paloma and being in an editing room, I learned a lot about acting.

With film, so much is in the director’s hands. Once something is cut together – unless you’re in the editing room – you don’t really remember what the alternatives are.

It was nice that there [ in the Bourne Ultimatum ] was a reference to the relationship . It’s very subtle – it’s actually without dialogue. I do think it’s powerful even without words.

I know it sounds earnest, but I do really feel in my bones that acting is just a small part of the equation when you are making a movie. The director really is in charge. Actors are as important or unimportant as the rest of the people around them.

I like analyzing human behavior. It’s complex. That’s what keeps me going.
