I'm aware that dialogue isn't my strength. I use it as a device. I don't particularly like dialogue which is part of the problem.

The theme that runs through my movies is the fact that we create barriers for ourselves....because we say, Well, I can't do that. But in the end, you can't do it unless you can imagine yourself succeeding at it.

When you are a beginning film maker you are desperate to survive. The most important thing in the end is survival and being able to get to your next picture.

You must let go of your past and embrace your future and figure out what path you're going to go down

If this were a fantasy world, there would be ten of me and we would each be doing what we wanted to do.

I like to say that films are never finished, they're only abandoned.

I've always just followed my own course, whatever I found the most interesting to me at the moment. I've never had a real plan of, "I want to get from here to there, and I've got to do this."
