We Only Have Two Hours To Change

I’ve Never Seen An Exploding Helicopter. I’ve Never Seen Anybody Go And Blow Somebody’s Head Off. So Why Should I Make Films About Them? But I Have Seen People Destroy Themselves In The Smallest Way, I’ve Seen People Withdraw, I’ve Seen People Hide Behind Political Ideas, Behind Dope, Behind The Sexual Revolution, Behind Fascism, Behind Hypocrisy, And I’ve Myself Done All These Things. So I Can Understand Them. What We Are Saying Is So Gentle. It’s Gentleness. We Have Problems, Terrible Problems, But Our Problems Are Human Problems.

People Who Are Making Films Today Are Too Concerned With Mechanics - Technical Things Instead Of Feeling.

Art Films Aren't Necessarily Photography. It's Feeling. If We Can Capture A Feeling Of A People, Of A Way Of Life, Then We Made A Good Picture.

I Won't Make Shorthand Films, Because I Don't Want To Manipulate Audiences Into Assuming Quick, Manufactured Truths.
