When you make a film it is like asking yourself a question. When it is finished, you know the answer. Ultimately with all of cinema, we are just trying to learn about ourselves. I have always used the opportunity to make a film to learn more about myself, which I am still doing.

I live near San Francisco in the most beautiful spot on earth and enjoy myself in many ways. Yes, I love to work, which for now is to think and read and write, so it's all a dream come true.

The time a movie is made is unique, not only from the talent that is available but if the public was ready for it.

I like to work in the morning. I like to sometimes go to a place where I'm all alone where I'm not going to get a phone call early that hurts my feelings, because once my feelings are hurt, I'm dead in the water.

Music is a big factor in helping the illusion of the film come to life. The same way music brings back different periods of our lives.

I gladly, I voluntarily gave up the kind of commercial film career I had going as soon as I had enough money to finance my own films.
