If There Were A Little More Silence,

I’m Just A Storyteller, And The Cinema Happens To Be My Medium. I Like It Because It Recreates Life In Movement, Enlarges It, Enhances It, Distills It. For Me, It’s Far Closer To The Miraculous Creation Of Life Than, Say, A Painting Or Music Or Even Literature. It’s Not Just An Art Form; It’s Actually A New Form Of Life, With Its Own Rhythms, Cadences, Perspectives And Transparencies. It’s My Way Of Telling A Story.

What Is An Artist? A Provincial Who Finds Himself Somewhere Between A Physical Reality And A Metaphysical One... It’s This In-between That I’m Calling A Province, This Frontier Country Between The Tangible World And The Intangible One - Which Is Really The Realm Of The Artist.

A Created Thing Is Never Invented And It Is Never True: It Is Always And Ever Itself.
