Each One Of My Movies Becomes Easier

If You Have Your Movies So That Everyone Understands Everything, I Think That's Probably Not A Very Good Movie.

I Like To Think Of Film-making Not Just As An Act Of Personal Self-aggrandisement But Rather As An Act Of Public Service.

The Worst Thing For People To Say About Your Movies Is, "yeah, It Was Pretty Good, But It Was Too Damn Long.".

I Don't Think So Much About Verbal Comedy. I Always Think About Visual Comedy. I Was Raised Watching Silents, And I'm Always Thinking About How To Make Cinema, Not Good Talking - Although I Want Good Talking. I'm Much More Interested In Framing, Composition, And Orchestration Of Bodies In Space, And So Forth. My Goal Is Always What Chuck Jones Wanted His Warner Brothers Cartoons To Be, Which Was If You Turn Down The Sound, You Could Still Tell What's Going On. I Think If You Watch Most Of My Films With The Sound Off, You Could Still Tell What's Going On.

I Definitely In Filmmaking More And More Find Writing And Directing A Means To Harvest Material For Editing. It's All About Editing.
