Films and hotels have many aspects that are the same. For example, there is always a big vision, an idea.

I wanted to be a film student again, as a man in my 60s. To go someplace alone and see what you can cook up, with non-existent budgets. I didn't want to be surrounded by comforts and colleagues, which you have when when you're a big time director. I wanted to write personal works.

I don't think there's any artist of any value who doesn't doubt what they're doing.

I liked to work in a shop down in the basement and invent things and build gadgets.

It was the man's dream, and his inspiring attempt to make them come true that remain important.

In a sense, I think a movie is really a little like a question and when you make it, that's when you get the answer.

There's nothing creative about living within your means.
