I think part of the reason ideas haven't come in is that the world of cinema is changing so drastically, and in a weird way, feature films I think have become cheap. Everything is kind of throwaway. It's experienced and then forgotten.

A film - especially when it's a personal film - is going to hit somebody or it's not. There's nothing you can do about it.

I always loved smokestack industry, and I love towns or cities that have grown up around factories.

Many things happen that we don't know the significance of until a little bit later.

I like things that go into hidden, mysterious places, places I want to explore that are very disturbing. In that disturbing thing, there is sometimes tremendous poetry and truth.

I'm not a political person. I don't understand politics, I don't understand the concept of two sides and I think that probably there's good on both sides, bad on both sides, and there's a middle ground, but it never seems to come to the middle ground and it's very frustrating watching it and seemingly we're not moving forward.

There is an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness inside each one of us.
