I Came To Terms With Living Mostly

I Think The Important Thing About Staying Creative And Staying Sharp And Original Is Not To Look Back Too Much.

I Have Felt Over The Years A Definite Progression Or Arc From Feeling Guilty About What I Had Done With The First One [film], Because Certainly There Was All That Fundamentalist Guilt That Came Pouring Back In.

Last House Offended A Lot Of People. The Results In The Theaters, Even In Boston, Reminded Me A Bit Of Things From When I Was Studying Theater Of The Absurd, And The Rise And The Appearance Of Ionesco Plays, And Things Like That. Thinking, "my God, People Actually Are Getting Into Fistfights. People Are Having Heart Attacks. People Are Actually Trying To Get Into The Projection Booth To Destroy The Print."

If You Think It, The Camera Will See It.

A Lot Of Life Is Dealing With Your Curse, Dealing With The Cards You Were Given That Aren't So Nice. Does It Make You Into A Monster, Or Can You Temper It In Some Way, Or Accept It And Go In Some Other Direction?
