Cinema Is The Most Beautiful Fraud In

If You Have $300,000 To Shoot A Cigarette On A Table, It's An Enormous Amount Of Money. Maybe That's Why My Movies Are The Way They Are. But It's The Only Way I Can Make A Living.

I Am A Painter With Letters. I Want To Restore Everything, Mix Everything Up And Say Everything.

What I Like In Pictures Whether By An Old Director Or A Young Director Is When I Have The Feeling He Or She Is Really Using The Capacity Of Film.

Cinema Is The Most Beautiful Fraud In The World.

I Like The Idea Of Making Films About Ostensibly Absolutely Nothing. I Like The Irrelevant, The Tangential, The Sidebar Excursion To Nowhere That Suddenly Becomes Revelatory. That's What All My Movies Are About. That And The Idea That We're In Possession Of Certainty, Truth, Infallible Knowledge, When Actually We're Just A Bunch Of Apes Running Around. My Films Are About People Who Think They're Connected To Something, Although They're Really Not.
