Anything That Is Not Autobiography Is Plagiarism.

Once We Actually Have The Production Script After Many Rewrites, At That Point Is When I Start To Decide What The Look And Colors Will Be. I Work Like A Painter, Even Though I'm Working In Three Dimensions. I'm Working With Chairs. I'm Working With Walls. But Even Things Like The Floor Or The Walls That People Might Think Are Not Important, They Actually Do Influence The Visual Look Of The Film. These Are Also Things That I Have To Think About.

I Also Wanted To Express The Strength Of Cinema To Hide Reality, While Being Entertaining. Cinema Can Fill In The Empty Spaces Of Your Life And Your Loneliness.

If I Had Not Been Successful As A Director, Then I'm Sure I Would Still Be Telling Stories. I Would Have Continued On 16mm Or Found A Different Medium Through Which To Tell Them. Maybe They Would Have Been Less Glamorous Than Films, But I Would Continue To Tell Stories.

I Don't Want To Imitate Life In Movies; I Want To Represent It. And In That Representation, You Use The Colors You Feel, And Sometimes They Are Fake Colors. But Always It's To Show One Emotion.

I Make Movies For My Needs. My Goal Has Never, Never, Never Been To Make Shocking Movie.
