Sand is overrated. It's just tiny little rocks.

I want to do my own thing, and I'm trying to get closer to realizing that as a filmmaker.

And also the idea of not making it apparent that it's different from the rest of the film, even though there are visual differences, the audience is supposed to think that they are with him when he wakes up in the morning.

I graduated from college in 1980.

And so not only do you have to make that work, you can't really start putting the thing together in any form because some of the shots are very short and obviously many of them take so long, you're waiting months and months and months before you can see if it's going to be working emotionally.

I'm not into extreme sports or something. I just live a quiet life.

There's theater in life, obviously, and there's life in theater.
