Narcissism And Self-deception Are Survival Mechanisms Without

I Can't Please Everybody And I Don't Try To. If I Can Please Myself That's Enough. For The Rest, I Just Hope For The Best.

I Think, In Fact, There's A Plus And A Minus To Knowing My Prior Work, Happiness And So Forth. The Plus Is Of Course You Can See How I Play With The Characters, The Storylines, And The Way Things Play Off Each Other. And The Minus Is That It Makes You A Little Bit More Self-conscious, That You're Not Able To Enter The Movie As It Exists And Lives And Breathes, Because You're So Busy Making References, Connections That You're Not Able To Release Yourself From And Take The Film On Your Own Terms.

When I'm Asked Who My Audience Is, I Say Someone With An Open Mind, Which Is Not A Vacant One And Sometimes A Liberal Mind Is Not The Same Thing As An Open One.

What Makes Me Put Pen To Paper? You Know, That's The Million-dollar Question. I've Been Writing Since I've Been Reading. It's Not A Question I Think That's Even Meant To Be Answered, But It's Something You Always Seek To Discover The Answer To. And The Process Of Filmmaking Is One Of Discovery, And Self-discovery At That. Pleasure... It's Not Exactly What I Would Call Fun, But It's Absorbing.

The Ability To Take Pleasure In One's Life Is A Skill And Is A Kind Of Intelligence.
