Just film what's there, trust what came before, one hour before, and make it easy.

I had written 'Cafe de Flore' with 'Stairway to Heaven' in mind.

As a director, try to be humble and not to overdo it, not overcoverage and over-covering the scene.

It can be a machine. The machine tries to make money and forget about the heart and the art. Hollywood is more about making money.

I'm from the 'less is more' school. I had to be in the 'more is more' zone with 'Dallas Buyers Club', so I was out of my comfort zone, but I had to trust that.

In a career, when you hit 40 and you've done a lot of this and that, you want to try some new things. I feel like that as a director, too, from one film to the other.
