If We Were A Primitive Society, Movie

I Have To Have A Working Knowledge Of Light, And Optics, Film Emulsions And Their Properties, And Lenses, Otherwise I Can't Create The Shoots That Are The Vocabulary Of The Films. But It Is Not Necessary For Me To Be A Cameraman, I Can Hire A Cameraman.

Obviously Its A Good Feeling To Know That Something You've Done Has Lasted.

I Love Having Made A Film And Watching It When It Affects Audiences In A Positive Way. It Was Always Fun For Me To Hide In The Back Of A Theater And Watch Tootsie With An Audience And Hear Them Laugh. And It's Gratifying 20 Years Later To Imagine That They Still Can Find It Amusing.

Making A Film Is A Way For Me To Understand What It's Like To Be A Murderer, To Confess, To Be A Beaten Wife, To Be A Minority, To Be A Victor, To Get The Girl, To Lose The Girl. I Can Do All Of That Through The Practice Of An Art Form.

Every Single Art Form Is Involved In Film, In A Way.
