There Is So Much Crap In The

There's No Way To Approach Anything In An Objective Way. We're Completely Subjective; Our View Of The World Is Completely Controlled By Who We Are As Human Beings, As Men Or Women, By Our Age, Our History, Our Profession, By The State Of The World.

You Spend Most Of Your Time As A Director Trying To Move Forward With The Movie. It Happens On A Daily Basis, If Not More Than Once A Day, That You Are Struggling With Budgetary Constraints. Whereas When You're Writing, The Limitation That You Have Is Your Imagination. So It's Decidedly Non-pragmatic.

I Really Like When Critics Reveal Their Subjectivity And Their Humanity. I Prefer It When People Say Nice Things, But If They Say Not-nice Things Or Things That Are Critical, I'm Open To It And I Accept It. I Mean, I Have To Live With It.

I Know That As A Very Young Child, I Was Afraid Of Death. Many Children Become Aware Of The Notion Of Death Early And It Can Be A Very Troubling Thing. We're All In This Continuum: I'm This Age Now, And If I Live Long Enough I'll Be That Age. I Was 20 Once, I Was 10, I Was 4. People Who Are 20 Now Will Be 50 One Day. They Don't Know That! They Know It In The Abstract, But They Don't Know It. I'd Like Them To Know It, Because I Think It Gives You Compassion.
