Movies in Hollywood now, for the past 20 or 30 years, are made mainly by lawyers or agents.

Cinema is movement, after all.

Even with a small video we will always be able to do a small movie with friends and to show it to someone. You won't get the Oscar for it. But, after all, why are you writing and why are you filming?

Through most of my career I've made a decent living making movies no one wants to see.

In the beginning there was not even talking. In movies, there was no need for that. Because it was more evident if there was no talking. Only in sports does there remain this fervor, which can even become violent. There's this desire to see something big.

Cinema is not a series of abstract ideas, but rather the phrasing of moments.

I write and film history; I don't make it.
