I write scripts to serve as skeletons awaiting the flesh and sinew of images.

I have always had the ability to attach my demons to my chariot.

Only someone who is well prepared has the opportunity to improvise.

A film causes me so many worries and such a lot of reactions that I have to love it in order to get over it and past it.

I want knowledge. Not belief. Not surmise. But knowledge. I want God to put out His hand, show His face, speak to me.

I don't watch my own films very often. I become so jittery and ready to cry... and miserable. I think it's awful.

I want to be one of the artists in the cathedral on the great plain. I want to make a dragon's head, an angel, a devil - or perhaps a saint - out of stone.
