I'm A Huge Fan Of World Cinema,

I Made My First Film On 16mm. Then I Began Using 35mm.then I Began Working In Hollywood. And I Began To Really Understand How Films Were Made By Professionals. I Have To Say I Wasn't Very Impressed.

I Started Using Film As Part Of Live Theatre Performance - What Used To Be Called Performance Art - And I Became Intrigued By Film.

There's Nothing Quite Like The Idea Of Failing Spectacularly To Excite A Film Maker

Obviously, I Try To Make The Films Work For An Audience. That's The Main Point Of Making A Film, And In Retrospect, One Can See That Certain Films, Let's Say Leaving Las Vegas, Demonstrated Its Own Success.

I've Spent My Life Hearing People Trying To Apologize For Music.
