I Am The Shadow On The Moon

I Remember Being Forced To Go To Sunday School For A Number Of Years, Even Though My Parents Were Not Religious. No One Was Really Religious; It Was Just The Framework. There Was No Passion For It. No Passion For Anything. Just A Quiet, Kind Of Floaty, Kind Of Semi-oppressive, Blank Palette That Youre Living In.

I Worked At Disney Many Years Ago. They Just Let Me Sit In A Room For A Couple Of Years And Draw Whatever I Wanted To Draw, So It's A Very Personal Thing To Me. Drawing And Everything You Do There Is Something Meaningful And Personal.

Now 3d Is No Longer A Fad But I Don't Get All Crazy About It And Say That Everything Has Got To Be In 3d. It Is A Nice Tool, Like Color Or Sound Or Whatever. I Was Quite Intrigued And I Learned, 3d Opened Up A Lot Of Questions About How To Use It. I Think It Is Great. It's Like If A Movie Needs To Be In Black And White Then That's How I Will Shoot It. I See Color As Just Another Character Or Black And White As A Character.

It's Hard To Find Logic In Things Sometimes. That's Why I Can't Analyze Things Too Much, Because It Often Doesn't Make Much Sense.

There Was One Moment, And It Happened In School. I Had A Big Final Exam - We Were Supposed To Write A 20-page Report On This Book About Houdini. I Probably Would Have Loved Reading It, But I Didn't, So I Just Decided To Make A Little Super-8 Movie Based On It. I Tied Myself To The Railroad Tracks And All That. I Mean, This Is Kid Stuff, But It Impressed The Teacher, And I Got An A. And That Was Maybe My First Turning Point, When I Said, 'yeah, I Wouldn't Mind Being A Filmmaker.'
