When I write a film, all I think about is where the thing ends and how to get the audience there.
Each one of my films is personal; each one of my films is emotionally autobiographical. And I like directors who do that.
What I do feel is that 'Up in the Air' is the most indicative film of 2009. It is the portrait of 2009.
I want my movies to be audience experiences. As much as I like Michael Haneke, I'm not going to make a Haneke film. That's just not in my DNA.
I always believed that you can make challenging films, but they should be fiscally responsible.
