You Can Fail In Films Because You

To Me There Is A Name For Each Person. I Think It’s Marvelous To Have A Name. A Woman Is Not A Woman. It’s Either Gena Or My Mother Or Some Other Person.

An Artist Can Accomplish Anything Provided He Doesn't Accept Facts Or Defeat For More Than A Few Minutes.

You Must Be Willing To Risk Everything To Really Express It All.

I Like To Act In Films, I Like To Shoot 'em, I Like To Direct 'em, I Like To Be Around 'em. I Like The Feel Of It And It's Something I Respect. It Doesn't Make Any Difference Whether It's A Crappy Film Or A Good Film. Anyone Who Can Make A Film, I Already Love. But I Feel Sorry If They Don't Put Any Thought In It Because Then They Missed The Boat.

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