- His films tend to depict the dark side of small town USA and/or small, suburban-like communities.
- His films are tough-minded and uncompromising. Sometimes visually arresting, but always violent. His actors acclaimed for career best performances and, in the case of Wilkinson & Haley, first-time Academy Award nominations.
- Directed 6 actors in Oscar nominated performances: Tom Wilkinson, Sissy Spacek, Marisa Tomei, Kate Winslet, Jackie Earle Haley, and Cate Blanchett.
- Raised in Portland, Oregon, from the age of two when his father, then a truck driver, moved the family north after taking a job as a traveling salesman hawking welding supplies.
- His father in law is famed screenwriter Bo Goldman.
- His daughter, Alida P. Field, has appeared in three of his films. Most notably as the "Young Gymnast" selling candy door-to-door in In the Bedroom (2001).
- He received his M.F.A from the American Film Institute (AFI).
- When I was a child, I was obsessed with the great conjurers. Not the guys that made an elephant disappear. People like Cardini...the magic, small, intimate, inches away. That's what interests me about film. It's the small moments. Not achieving larger than life status.
- (on Los Angeles) Every once in a while you have to go back to LA. We're miners and that's where the mine is - it's a necessary evil.
- If we weren't groomed to be adolescents, we would be terrible consumers. We'd be responsible with our money, we'd buy things that last, we'd insist on quality and we'd spend our time in pursuits that had meaning for us, rather than just plugging ourselves into the consumer engine. We're like catfish at the bottom of Hoover Dam with our mouths open, and our tails just get bigger and bigger.
