You're So Stupid, Rose!

I Like The Evening In India, The One Magic Moment When The Sun Balances On The Rim Of The World, And The Hush Descends, And Ten Thousand Civil Servants Drift Homeward On A River Of Bicycles, Brooding On The Lord Krishna And The Cost Of Living.

I've Tried Not To Get Sucked Into The Hollywood Hierarchy System. Personally, I Don't Like It When People Are Deferential To Me Because I'm An Established Filmmaker. It's A Blue-collar Sensibility.

Everybody Is Always Talking About Droughts And Sea Level Rise, But When Human Civilization, With More Crowding And Greater Resource Depletion, Is Under That Much Stress, It Translates Into Wars And Huge Displaced Populations. The Syrian Refugee Crisis Is Just A First Taste Of What It's Going To Be Like. I Don't Want My Kids Growing Up In That Kind Of World.

Action Is A Way Of Externalizing An Emotional State. You Might Not Be Running, Leaping, Climbing And Doing All That. But, The Way You Create That Emotional State In A Movie Is By Having The Characters Have Physical Jeopardy That They Have To Work Against.

If You Wait Until The Right Time To Have A Child You'll Die Childless, And I Think Film Making Is Very Much The Same Thing. You Just Have To Take The Plunge And Just Start Shooting Something Even If It's Bad.
