The Essence Of Cinema Is Editing.

Without A Doubt, I Was Born To Want To Make Cinema, But The Kind Of Cinema I Want To Make Is Not Like Commercial Movies, Which I Enjoy Myself, But I Wanted To Be The Kind Of Filmmaker Who Wrote Original Work, Sort Of Like A Novelist Would Who Deals With Who We Are And Our Times Or Our Relationships.

I Was The Kind Of Kid That Had Some Talents Or Ability, But It Never Came Out In School.

I Always Knew What I Thought The Theme Was, The Core, In One Word. In 'the Godfather' It Was Succession. In 'the Conversation' It Was Privacy. In 'apocalypse' It Was Morality.

That's Part Of The Requirement For Me To Be An Artist Is That You're Trying To Share Your Personal Existence With Others And Trying To Illuminate Modern Life, Trying To Understand Life.
