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

When you are out in the land, OK, you have the land but you are alone with it. And sometimes it is too much.

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

TV has nothing to do with painting. It's just transmission.

To be only spectacular should be 5 or 10 percent of cinema.

When Yeats said the center cannot hold, he was talking for himself, but it was true for the rest of us as well.

In films, we are trained by the American way of moviemaking to think we must understand and 'get' everything right away. But this is not possible. When you eat a potato, you don't understand each atom of the potato!
