There Is No Shame In My Saying

When I Go To Bed At Night And I Think Of Humanity At Large, I Think Of All Those Things.

One Of The Reasons People Sell Out So Quickly Is Because Even The Talented Think They're Frauds. It's A Culture That Doesn't Encourage People To Believe In The Work They Do. You're Told To Second-guess Yourself All The Time. That's Where I Think A Little Hostility And Arrogance Can Save You. And I've Never Been Lacking For Either.

A Clearer And More Conventional Narrative Would Have Helped The Film Without, In My Opinion, Lessening Its Beauty And Its Impact. Frankly, I'm Still Trying To Figure Out What I'm Doing There And What I Was Supposed To Add In That Context! What's More, Terry Malick Himself Never Managed To Explain It To Me Clearly.

The Advice You Give To Young Directors For Sure Is To Go Out And Become Some Version Of A Successful Movie Actor. Do That First And Say Yes To People Like Terrence Malick And Clint Eastwood And Woody Allen When They Come And Offer You Movies. It's A Great Front Row Seat To Filmmaking.

On Any Movie I'm Involved With, I Say What I Think.
