To Be An Artist Means Never To

Movie Directors, Or Should I Say People Who Create Things, Are Very Greedy And They Can Never Be Satisfied... That's Why They Can Keep On Working. I've Been Able To Work For So Long Because I Think Next Time, I'll Make Something Good.

If You Want To Be A Great Director, Be A Great Screenwriter.

During The Shooting Of A Scene The Director’s Eye Has To Catch Even The Minutest Detail. But This Does Not Mean Glaring Concentratedly At The Set. While The Cameras Are Rolling, I Rarely Look Directly At The Actors, But Focus My Gaze Somewhere Else. By Doing This I Sense Instantly When Something Isn’t Right. Watching Something Does Not Mean Fixing Your Gaze On It, But Being Aware Of It In A Natural Way. I Believe This Is What The Medieval Noh Playwright And Theorist Zeami Meant By ‘watching With A Detached Gaze.’

To Be An Artist Means To Search, To Find And Look At These Realities. To Be An Artist Means To Never Look Away.

In Order To Find Reality, Each Must Search For His Own Universe, Look For The Details That Contribute To This Reality7 That One Feels Under The Surface Of Things. To Be An Artist Means To Search, To Find And Look At These Realities. To Be An Artist Means Never To Look Away.
