I Always Wanted To Create This Community That Would Come And Tell Their Own Story, Shoot It - And Watch Them. The Idea Is To Not Have One Entity Who Creates The Work, The Project, And Another Entity Who Consumes It; The Idea Is People Create Their Own Work, Like Somebody Cultivating His Garden.

In A Way, Putting Actors Deep Into This Sort Of Complicated Universe Frees Them From Thinking About Who They Should Be. They Just Are Somebody.

Since I Was A Kid, I've Liked To See How Things Are Done. Sometimes When You See How Things Are Done, It's Like Watching A 'making Of' Within The Story. You See The Physical Aspect, The Construction Of Things.

I Hate Cynicism. I Wipe It From Me. I Don't Like Cynical People. I Don't Like Cynical Movies. Cynicism Is Very Easy. You Don't Have To Justify It. You Don't Have To Fight For It.

The Problem Is When You Get Forced To Use Ideas That Aren't Good. When I Can Filter The Ideas And Use The Best Of Them, I Am Happy To Collaborate.

I Like To Use A Bit Of Chaos When I Shoot. I Think It May Be Something From The Way I Shot My First Film - I Was Very Scared, Of Course, And I Prepared Everything, I Wanted To Make Sure That The Characters Did The Right Thing At The Right Time On The Storyboard. But Then I Realised That In Life, There Is So Much More Than What You Can Predict Or Write In Advance, That When You Shoot The Story, It's Good To Leave Some Gaps Where You Lose Control. I Think This Combination Of Chaos And Organisation Gives A Kind Of Quality.
