However Vast The Darkness, We Must Supply

Suppose By Chance You Do Get Picked Up. What Have You Done? You Shot A Horse; That Isn't First Degree Murder; In Fact, It Isn't Even Murder; In Fact, I Don't Know What It Is.

The Reality Of The Final Moment, Just Before Shooting [the Scene], Is So Powerful That All Previous Analysis Must Yield Before The Impressions You Receive Under These Circumstances, And Unless You Use This Feedback To Your Positive Advantage, Unless You Adjust To It, Adapt To It And Accept The Sometimes Terrifying Weaknesses It Can Expose, You Can Never Realize The Most Out Of Your Film.

My Reputation Has Grown Slowly.

Anyone Who Has Ever Been Privileged To Direct A Film Also Knows That, Although It Can Be Like Trying To Write 'war And Peace' In A Bumper Car In An Amusement Park, When You Finally Get It Right, There Are Not Many Joys In Life That Can Equal The Feeling.

Critical Opinion On My Films Has Always Been Salvaged By What I Would Call Subsequent Critical Opinion.
