One Of The Things I Enjoyed The

Mostly With Commercial Work, It Isn't About Personal Vision. It's Not A Personal Effort, It's Work For Hire. That's More My Attitude With Those. You Just Want To Be A Professional Worker.

I Want To Try Not To Repeat Myself. But Then I Seem To Do It Continuously In My Films. It's Not Something I Make Any Effort To Do. I Just Want To Make Films That Are Personal, But Interesting To An Audience. I Feel I Get Criticized For Style Over Substance, And For Details That Get In The Way Of The Characters. But Every Decision I Make Is How To Bring Those Characters Forward.

The Movies I Make Tend Not To Be Quite Reality But The Characters Are Inspired By Real People And They're Always Very Personal.

If I Have Ideas, I Want To Put Them In The Movie. It's Not A Minimalist Approach At All But I Feel Like It's For The Audience. It's About Seeing How Much Texture We Can Give It And Seeing How Many Things Are There For People To Latch On To... I Just Want To Do It The Way I Want And I Feel Like It Won't Be Helpful For Me If I Start Worrying About That. I Just Have To Follow My Instincts. Everyone Is Going To Respond Differently To It And Everybody's Right - That's Their Point Of View. That's How The Story Intersects With Their Lives.

The Only Thing That Takes Away From It Is When They Steal Some Music From One Of My Movies And Put It In A Tv Commercial. I Am Not Crazy About Influencing Tv Commercials. But If I Legitimately Influence Someone Making A Movie, I Think That Is Really Flattering.
