I Just - I Kind Of See

I Always Wanted To Make A Film That Had This Sort Of Chinese-box Effect, In Which You Keep Opening It Up And Opening It Up, And Finally At The End You're At The Beginning.

Because Of The Movies I Make, People Get Nervous. They Think Of Me As Difficult And Angry. I Am Difficult And Angry, But They Don't Expect A Sense Of Humor. And The Only Thing That Gets Me Through Is A Sense Of Humor.

Very Often I've Known People Who Wouldn't Say A Word To Each Other, But They'd Go To See Movies Together And Experience Life That Way.

I Was Saying As A Joke The Other Day That I Love Film Editing, I Know How To Cut A Picture, I Think I Know How To Shoot It, But I Don't Know How To Light It. And I Realize It's Because I Didn't Grow Up With Light. I Grew Up In Tenements.

Being Independent... Is Being Innovative Out Of Inspiration As Well As Necessity.
