'Frances Ha' is the closest final product to what I had in my head of any movie I've made. I'm not entirely even sure why that is.
The challenge for people today--and it is not and easy one--is to maintain high personal standards even while feeling that one is living in a moral sewer.

I always see America as really belonging to the Native Americans. Even though I'm American, I still feel like a visitor in my own country.
It's no secret that I've always had an interest in mythology. Whether it's Arthurian or ancient Greek or even Marvel universe. I've always connected with it on some level.

In the long run, even a tyrannical government only has the power that the people confer on it and coming to understand history is the beginning of making things right.
No one is above the law, not even the president. I believe perjury does meet at least the definition of high misdemeanor.
