Cinema Paradiso, Because It Reminds Me Of

I Just Think You Can't Shut Your Life Off To Just, You Know, One Thing. You Gotta Be Open-minded. Explore Things. Feed Your Artist.

I Started Studying Mythology, Just On My Own. Joseph Campbell, Mysticism.

I Love Movies; I Grew Up Loving Movies. I've Always Loved Movies. I Never Thought About Making Movies Until I Took Art Classes And Then I Started Studying Different Artists. As You Study Paintings, You See Light And Shadow, Of Course - Rembrandt, Eugène Delacroix. You Start To Understand The Relationship Between People And Art, And Images. For Me, Between Movies That I Watched And Art, It Was Like, I'd Love To Make Moving Art. Moving Pictures.

I Believe In God, Absolutely.

It's Not Worth It, It's Not About Money, Especially When You're Dealing With A Culture. It Should Be About Elevating The Idea Of What We Are And Who We Are As People In The Cinema, And That Kind Of Stuff Keeps Dragging Us Back Down.
