I Had No Plans To Be A

Then I Became Interested In Drama, And Almost By Accident, I Drifted Into Film.

I Never Had Any Urge Or Desire To Do Like A Big Spectacular Movie With Thousands And Thousands Of Extras. I'd Rather Watch Paint Drying. But Put Me In A Room With Three People Having A Hard Time, Like A Character Situation, And Then You're Into A Really Intense Portraiture Kind Of Concept.

There's A Sadness To The Human Condition That I Think Music Is Good For. It Gives A Counterpoint To The Visual Beauty, And Adds Depth To Pictures That They Wouldn't Have If The Music Wasn't There.

Obviously, I Try To Make The Films Work For An Audience. That's The Main Point Of Making A Film, And In Retrospect, One Can See That Certain Films, Let's Say Leaving Las Vegas, Demonstrated Its Own Success.

There's Nothing I've Done Which I'm Ashamed Of Or I Thought Was Actually Bad.
