I'm Happy - At Times - Making

I Don't Think That Writers Or Painters Or Filmmakers Function Because They Have Something They Particularly Want To Say. They Have Something That They Feel. And They Like The Art Form; They Like Words, Or The Smell Of Paint, Or Celluloid And Photographic Images And Working With Actors. I Don't Think That Any Genuine Artist Has Ever Been Oriented By Some Didactic Point Of View, Even If He Thought He Was.

If You Can Talk Brilliantly About A Problem, It Can Create The Consoling Illusion That It Has Been Mastered.

A Film Is - Or Should Be - More Like Music Than Like Fiction. It Should Be A Progression Of Moods And Feelings. The Theme, What's Behind The Emotion, The Meaning, All That Comes Later.

Don't Get Obsessed With Not Liking A Movie.

Perhaps It Sounds Ridiculous, But The Best Thing That Young Filmmakers Should Do Is To Get Hold Of A Camera And Some Film And Make A Movie Of Any Kind At All.
