Basically, I Think 21st Century Conservation Is Moving Toward Preserving Ecosystems By Dealing With The Needs Of People.

I Do Find Myself Drawn More To Pieces That I Feel Are Wrestling With The Way That We're Living Now, What We're All Going Through.

When I Look At The Directors That I Really Love, Who Really Develop Their Films Over Time, They're Almost Always The Ones Who Go Back Again And Again And Again At The Same Investigations. I Think That When Somebody Has A Theme They Go After, It's Fun To Service That. It's Like, "i Know You Now. I Know What You Go At." It Helps You Locate Yourself A Little Bit Quicker In Their World.

If You Try To Make Interesting Films, You're Going To Be Disappointed Most Of The Time. I Choose Just Not To Look At It That Way. I Don't Look At American History X As A Failure, Or Fight Club As A Failure, Or 25th Hour As A Failure, Or Larry Flynt As A Failure, Or Any Of The Movies That I Care About That I've Made That Were Not Immediately Successful. I'll Stand With Those Movies Any Day Over 90 Percent Of The Movies That Came Out At The Same Time That Made A Hundred Million Dollars

When I Think Of My Background, If I Was Privileged On Any Level, It Was In Terms Of The Kind Of Exposure To Experience And Bohe-mian Cultural Influence That My Parents And My Uncles And My Grandfather Gave Me. On Both Sides I Come From An Extremely Eccentric, Artsy, Intellectually Intense, Activist Family.
