Because Of The Movies I Make, People

Michael Jackson Was Extraordinary. When We Worked Together On 'bad,' I Was In Awe Of His Absolute Mastery Of Movement On The One Hand, And Of The Music On The Other. Every Step He Took Was Absolutely Precise And Fluid At The Same Time. It Was Like Watching Quicksilver In Motion. He Was Wonderful To Work With, An Absolute Professional At All Times, And It Really Goes Without Saying... A True Artist. It Will Be A While Before I Can Get Used To The Idea That He's No Longer With Us.

In Truly Great Films - The Ones That People Need To Make, The Ones That Start Speaking Through Them, The Ones That Keep Moving Into Territory That Is More And More Unfathomable And Uncomfortable - Nothing's Ever Simple Or Neatly Resolved. You're Left With A Mystery.

Food Tells You Everything About The Way People Live And Who They Are.

Oh, The Foghorns... Even The Foghorns, They're All Brass. It's Something By Ingrid Marshal Called Fog Tropes. It's Not A Sound Effect. It's An Actual Piece Of Music. If You Listen To What's Going On After He Has A Flashback About His Wife You'll Hear... It Sounds Like The Humpback Whales In A Way. But It's All Music. And We Use It Again Later, Too.

And As I've Gotten Older, I've Had More Of A Tendency To Look For People Who Live By Kindness, Tolerance, Compassion, A Gentler Way Of Looking At Things.
