I Still Think Ned Beatty Should've Played

I Believe That Filmmaking - As, Probably, Is Everything - Is A Game You Should Play With All Your Cards, And All Your Dice, And Whatever Else You've Got. So, Each Time I Make A Movie, I Give It Everything I Have. I Think Everyone Should, And I Think Everyone Should Do Everything They Do That Way.

A Director Is The Ringmaster Of A Circus That's Inventing Itself.

In America, Even The Critics - Which Is A Pity - Tend To Genre-ize Things. They Have A Hard Time When Genres Get Mixed. They Want To Categorize Things. That's Why I Love Wes Anderson's Films And The Coen Brothers, Because You Don't Know What You're Going To Get, And Very Often You Get Something That You Don't Expect And That's Just What A Genre's Not Supposed To Do.

Everyone Knows The Phenomenon Of Trying To Hold Your Breath Underwater - How At First It's Alright And You Can Handle It, And Then As It Gets Closer And Closer To The Time When You Must Breathe, How Urgent The Need Becomes, The Lust And The Hunger To Breathe. And Then The Panic Sets In When You Begin To Think That You Won't Be Able To Breathe - And Finally, When You Take In Air And The Anxiety Subsides...that's What It's Like To Be A Vampire And Need Blood.

I Like To Work In The Morning. I Like To Sometimes Go To A Place Where I'm All Alone Where I'm Not Going To Get A Phone Call Early That Hurts My Feelings, Because Once My Feelings Are Hurt, I'm Dead In The Water.
