What is filmmaking but groping in the dark?

I like to think of film-making not just as an act of personal self-aggrandisement but rather as an act of public service.

I mean, look, I love movies, not just the ones I make... In fact, I don't like the movies I make very much.

I like actors who, when you see them on screen, you sense a person, not just an actor.

In the moment of making films, I want to share my observations of life, not of other films.

The best cinema is about ethics.

But it's just that the whole country is making generally lousy films these days and has been for quite a while. That's the big problem that we all have to think about.
