I Want All Of My Films To

A Lot Of People Get Stuck, Like, "oh, If It's Made By A Studio, It Can't Be Independent." Often They Link It To The Source Of Financing, Or How It's Distributed, But I Don't Really Know How You Can. A Filmmaker Will Take His Money From Anywhere. It Doesn't Matter.

In A General Sense, To Convert Any Short Story, Novel, Play, Or Opera Into A Movie, You Have To Re-rig It. Even Though They're All Narratives Over Time, They're Very Different Forms.

I Like Voice-over In Films, And Most Of My Films Have Been Voice-over Films.

Even If We Die At 100, We're Still Dying Young. I Want At Least 700 Years. There's A Lot Of Travelling And Books To Read And Movies To See. I'm Not Going To Squeeze It All In In 85 Years.

I'm Considered To Some Degree A Successful Director Working In Hollywood, Making Films My Way But Using Studio Financing. But With Almost Every Single One, I Get Praised Up The Wazoo By People Who Never Would Have Financed The Films. It's: "gee, This Movie Is So New And Different - What Do You Want To Do Next?" "this." "oh, That's Too New And Different."
