I Just Wanted It To Be American.

I've Always Been Pulled Toward People Who Can't Seem To Make Anything Fit. It's Like A Cinema Of Isolation, Of Loneliness. They Go Outside The System And Create Their Own Society To Develop Their Obsession To An Insane Degree.

Directing, To Me, Starts Even Before We Get To The Set. Directing Is A Fluid, An Abstract Thing. It's Not Done Only Purely In The Moment. It's An Idea That You Plant Before. It's A Location That You Show. It's Something I Whisper In Someone's Ear. It's A Freeform Thing. It Only Takes Me A Week To Write The Script, But It's Years That You're Thinking About It. The Execution Is Really The Fast Part.

I Never Cared About Making One Coherent Masterpiece With A Conventional Narrative. I Always Wanted My Movies To Have Images Falling From All Directions In A Vaudevillian Way. If You Didn't Like What Was Happening In One Scene, You Could Just Snooze Through It Until The Next Scene. That Was The Thing About Vaudeville: You Didn't Have To Worry About The Beginning And Ends Of These Things.

For Me, Making A Movie Is Kind Of Like Vomiting. Not That Film Is Like Vomit, But More Like This Mass Of Ideas And Thoughts That You Have And Just Have To Put Them Out There. It's Not Even About Making Perfect Sense - It's More About Making Perfect Nonsense. I Don't Do Too Much Soul-searching Or Self-analysis. I Just Enjoy Making Things.

I Never Cared So Much About Making Perfect Sense. I Wanted To Make Perfect Nonsense.
