You Must Be Willing To Risk Everything

Filmmaking Is Exploring. Why Would I Want To Make A Film About Something I Already Understand?

During The Actual Filming, I’m Not Really Listening To Dialogue. I’m Watching To See If The Actors Are Communicating Something And Expressing Something. I’m Just Watching A Conversation. You’re Not Aware Of Exactly What People Are Saying. You Are Aware Of What They Are Intending And What Kind Of Feeling Is Going On In That Scene.

I'm Not Good At Comparing And Contrasting. I Take What's In Front Of Me For What It Is, Although I Guess There's Something About Paul's Realistic Writing That Is Like Cassavetes.

As An Artist, I Feel That We Must Try Many Things - But Above All We Must Dare To Fail.

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.
