I've Always Said That I Myself Am

I Think There Are Many Advantages To Not Knowing Any Of My Prior Work. The Narrative Threads, I Think, Are Totally Accessible To Anyone Who May Never Have Heard Of Me. There's A Beginning, A Middle, And An End - I Don't Think There's Going To Be Any Confusion There.

If I Grew Up In A Different Background, I Could See Myself Getting A Gun And Shooting An Abortionist. That's My Job, To Imagine What Could Happen, What Can Make People Go In Different Directions.

Some People Will Of Course Accuse Me Of Misanthropy And Cynicism. I Can't Celebrate Humanity But I'm Not Out To Indict It Either. I Just Want To Expose Certain Truths.

That Is Definitely A Misunderstanding Between Me And A Part Of My Audience. To Be Honest, I Am Often Unsettled By The Responses Some People Have Had To My Movies, And That Includes Many People Who Like Them.
