Before She Married My Father, My Mother

I Hate Those Live Action Versions Of Animated Cartoons. It Ruins Everything, The Whole Point Of Cartoons Is To Get Away From Photographs. I Mean It Would Be Stupid To Say That Cartoons Are Better Than Photographs But Its True.

I Even Think The Commercial Element Of New American Directors Is Really Fertile Right Now. There Are A Lot Of Filmmakers With Very Particular Visions, Like Sofia Coppola And Wes Anderson And P.t. Anderson And Alexander Payne And Peter Sollett And Harmony Korine And Vincent Gallo. At Least They're Making Films That They Choose To Make, And They're On Their Own. That's Positive To Me. This Is Not A Dead Period For American Cinema At All.

It Was A Really Interesting Time In New York In The Late 70s And Early 80s, And The Music Scene Was Really, Really Interesting Because You Didn't Have To Be A Virtuoso To Make Music, It Was More About Your Desire To Express Things.

My Films Are About The Little Things That Happen Between People That Are Sometimes Far More Valuable And Insightful Than The Big Dramatic Things That Happen.

Each One Of Us Is A Set Of Shifting Molecules, Spinning In Ecstasy.
