I'm Definitely Not Drawn To Shooting On

When I Made My First Film, I Didn't Think Of It As Directing, So It Wasn't Like I Set Out To Become A Director.

One Of The Elements In The Film That Really Fascinated Me Was Not To Look At The World In Bi-polar Terms Of Us Vs Them Or East Vs West, Which Was A By-product Of The Cold War.

Perhaps The Only Thing In My Favor Is That I Am Very Tenacious. I Don't Take 'no' Very Well.

Whereas Painting Is A More Rarefied Art Form, With A Limited Audience, I Recognized Film As This Extraordinary Social Tool That Could Reach Tremendous Numbers Of People.

On The Other Hand, I Believe There's Hope, Because The Breakdown And The Repair Are Happening Simultaneously.
