As I Do With Most Films, I

I've Told People Who Have Just Started To Make A Film That The One Thing You Might Experience Is This Feeling That Everybody Is Conspiring Against You, Because You're Not Necessarily Able To Tell What's Real And What's Not.

I Don't Think American Independent Films Have Ever Really Been Particularly Experimental, Except For The Original Guys From The '60s Who Were Huge Influences, Like Stan Brakhage, Robert Breer, And Stan Van Der Beek. They Were The True Independents.

I Try To Get To Know The Actors As Much As I Can. I Feel Like I'm Friends With Them For Starters And For A Week Or Two, We Rehearse When They're Getting The Costumes Together.

No Construction Stiff Working Overtime Takes More Stress And Straining Than We Did Just To Stay High.

I Think Over The Course Of 14 Films, I'm Returning To A Place That I Know To Tell A Story... The Same Way Spielberg Returned To Fantasy, Lucas Returned To The 'star Wars' Saga, Or John Ford Returned To The Western.
