I think if you watch most of my films with the sound off, you could still tell what's going on.

I want all of my films to belong to me.

Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film, and that's a very sad thing. It's film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture, and that's everywhere around the world.

I never wanted money worries to slow me down or make me take a job I didn't want.

In real life, I myself am kind of a rambling guy. I like to travel.

As the years go by and I make more films, I am increasingly interested in capturing place as a vivid backdrop for my films.

I don't feel despair because I am able to make the films I want to make, and that gives me hope.
