If You're Lucky, And Not A Lot

The Greatest Single Human Gift Is The Ability To Chase Down Our Dreams.

When I Look At A Person, Or A Character, It Is In Every Case The Beginning Of An Endless Journey. And I Don't Suppose I Know Where That Starts. I Know That I Have To, Like Every Other Person, Make Decisions And Have Opinions. But I'm Real Careful To Not Judge Crassly Or Cheaply Someone Else's Life.

The Art Is About Opening, It Is Not About Prejudice, It Is Not About Contempt Prior To Investigation. It's About Endlessly Trying To Keep From Having Contempt By Admitting That You Don't Know. Even If You Know A Lot Compared To Some Other People, Usually, I Think, The Honest Experience Would Be: "god, How Little I Know! And How Much I Need To Have Compassion For Myself And For Other People."

It Just Seems Like That Because I Do A Lot Of Independent Films That Don't Get To The Mainstream.
