Drinking Wine Is Just A Part Of

You Ought To Love What You're Doing Because, Especially In A Movie, Over Time You Really Will Start To Hate It.

Anything You Build On A Large Scale Or With Intense Passion Invites Chaos.

My Film Isn't About Vietnam. It Is Vietnam. It's What It Was Really Like. It Was Crazy. And The Way We Made It Was Very Much Like The Way The Americans Were In Vietnam. We Were In The Jungle, There Were Too Many Of Us, We Had Access To Too Much Money, Too Much Equipment And Little By Little We Went Insane.

In America, Even The Critics - Which Is A Pity - Tend To Genre-ize Things. They Have A Hard Time When Genres Get Mixed. They Want To Categorize Things. That's Why I Love Wes Anderson's Films And The Coen Brothers, Because You Don't Know What You're Going To Get, And Very Often You Get Something That You Don't Expect And That's Just What A Genre's Not Supposed To Do.

I Know That If A Film Is Ready To Emerge Out Of What I Write, I'll Be Able To Go Off And Make It Without Asking Anyone's Permission.
