I Mean, I Don't Want To Sound

I Always Make Mistakes And I Always Fix Things Up, As Best I Can, In The Cutting Room.

When I'm Asked Who My Audience Is, I Say Someone With An Open Mind, Which Is Not A Vacant One And Sometimes A Liberal Mind Is Not The Same Thing As An Open One.

I Think, In Fact, There's A Plus And A Minus To Knowing My Prior Work, Happiness And So Forth. The Plus Is Of Course You Can See How I Play With The Characters, The Storylines, And The Way Things Play Off Each Other. And The Minus Is That It Makes You A Little Bit More Self-conscious, That You're Not Able To Enter The Movie As It Exists And Lives And Breathes, Because You're So Busy Making References, Connections That You're Not Able To Release Yourself From And Take The Film On Your Own Terms.

When Part Of What You're Trying To Get At Is The Truth Hidden Under A Taboo, Or When You Want To Nail A Hypocrisy, Laughter Is A Very Useful Tool. I Want To Show The Painful Side Of Existence, But There Is No Question I Also Want To Make People Laugh.

If I Grew Up In A Different Background, I Could See Myself Getting A Gun And Shooting An Abortionist. That's My Job, To Imagine What Could Happen, What Can Make People Go In Different Directions.
