When I'm Asked Who My Audience Is,

Art Has A Smaller Audience Than, Say, Movies Or Other Forms Of Mass Consumption. But That Doesn't Mean The Work Doesn't Have An Impact In A Way That Transcends Just A Few Cultural Arbiters.

I Don't Make Movies With The Idea That People Are Going To Walk Out Of Them Feeling Comfortable Or Better About Themselves Or More Secure In Their Own Biases Or Opinions.

What Makes Me Put Pen To Paper? You Know, That's The Million-dollar Question. I've Been Writing Since I've Been Reading. It's Not A Question I Think That's Even Meant To Be Answered, But It's Something You Always Seek To Discover The Answer To. And The Process Of Filmmaking Is One Of Discovery, And Self-discovery At That. Pleasure... It's Not Exactly What I Would Call Fun, But It's Absorbing.

Part Of It Has To Do With This Business Of Being Approached In Public. I Have A Distinctive Look - It's Partly The Glasses I Wear - And People Seem To Remember Me Once They've Seen Me.

I've Always Said That I Myself Am Not The Best Audience For My Own Work, Because I'm Just Not That Receptive To Comedy.
