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.

When you do something that works you have a happiness, but I don't know if it's a feeling of power. Power is a frightening thing and that's not what I'm interested in. I want to do certain things and make them right in my mind and that's it.

Meditation is not a selfish thing. Even though you're diving in and experiencing the Self, you're not closing yourself off from the world. You're strengthening yourself, so that you can be more effective when you go back into the world.

In my mind it's so much fun to have something that has clues and is mysterious - something that is understood intuitively rather than just being spoon-fed to you. That's the beauty of cinema, and it's hardly ever even tried. These days, most films are pretty easily understood, and so people's minds stop working.

I always say that intuition is the number one tool for an artist.

You're right on the money with that. We're all like detectives in life. There's something at the end of the trail that we're all looking for.

This whole world is wild at heart and weird on top.
