I'm not an easygoing guy as a director.

I have as much artistic freedom in my television work as I have in my films.

I have a bad reputation for being temperamental.

I wanted to make Canadian films, and I ended up making American films.

But when I direct I become possessed, a possession I've never quite understood.

Everything about filmmaking tries to distract you from that first fine rapturous vision you have of the film.

When you're actually making the film, you're constantly battling to maintain its integrity.

When you meet me, I can be charming and intelligent and reasonable.
