But a writer's contribution is literary and a film is not literary. When you take that stuff off the page, and cast the people who are going to fit into those roles, that's what being a director is.

My creative partner is a writer, and he's got an executive producing credit on this film. We've made three films together and I would never underestimate the impact of a writer.

It's very clearly stated in the film: You make your own choices, and what you're always fighting is ego.

It isn't glamorous until after the film is finished, and you are at the premiere and getting your picture on the cover of magazines.

The whole concept of the devil is a metaphor on one level.

Well I don't think I've scored my life exclusively to Ray Charles.

And it's a question of how far we're willing to go in order to let the ego shine, in order to let that beacon penetrate not only the local scene but the world.

I also know what looks good before the camera, how to move the camera, and how to get a story on the screen.

It isn't glamorous until after the film is finished, and you are at the premiere and getting your picture on the cover of magazines.
