Those Who Cannot Condemn The Past Repeat

You Can Ask Yourself, If A Film Makes A Claim, Is The Claim True Or False? Having Said That, A Style Of Presenting Material Doesn't Guarantee Truth. There's This Crazy Idea That Somehow You Pick A Style, And By Virtue Of Picking The Style, You've Provided Something That Is More Truthful. It's As If You Imagine That Changing The Font On A Sentence You Write Makes It More Truthful.

If You Asked Me What Makes The World Go Round, I Would Say Self-deception. Self-deception Allows Us To Create A Consistent Narrative For Ourselves That We Actually Believe. I’m Not Saying That The Truth Doesn’t Matter. It Does. But Self-deception Is How We Survive.

A Lot Of The Themes Of My Movies, The Actual Stories, Come From Tabloid Stories.

One Of The Strengths Of My Interviews Is That I Really, Honest To God, Have No Idea What People Are Going To Say.

Those Who Cannot Remember The Past Are Condemned To Repeat It Without A Sense Of Ironic Futility.
