Everything's Changing So Fast That It's Sometimes

Wong Kar-wai Is A Really Great Inspiration. He's Always Referred To As The Jimi Hendrix Of Filmmaking.

There's A Lot Of Films That Have Relatively Rigid Road Maps Because They Have A Script And Others That Are Less Rigid Because They Have Less Of A Script, Like 'elephant.' The Road Map Becomes More Interpretive, Maybe, Than One With A Detailed Script. Editing-wise, They All Have Their Problems.

It's Hard To Speculate As A Human About The Afterlife Because You're Not In It. And It's Probably As Wild And Wacky As You Could Imagine. The Idea That People Have Figured It Out, I'm Not Sure If I Can Fathom That.

I Try To Shoot The First Rehearsal Because People Are More Spontaneous. People In Real Life Don't Really Know Where They Are Going To Be Either Positioning Themselves Or How They Will Be Saying Their Words. When People Goof During The First Take, It Usually Looks Realistic.

I Think Over The Course Of 14 Films, I'm Returning To A Place That I Know To Tell A Story... The Same Way Spielberg Returned To Fantasy, Lucas Returned To The 'star Wars' Saga, Or John Ford Returned To The Western.
