I've gotta be honest, it is a little of a mystery to me. I consider myself very sentimental, very sensitive, but obviously my outward appearance is a bit scruffy-haired, and I have a general tendency toward snarling at people, and a sort of misanthropic nature. Maybe that is what people actually read. I do actually believe that misanthropy and sensitivity go hand in hand, because I have a tremendous disappointment in the ways of the world.
Larry FessendenThe worst thing that could happen to a filmmaker is growing up wanting to be a filmmaker.
Larry FessendenI love filmmaking when fate is a part of the process and you are dependent on the laws of physics and the elements to get a single moment that transports or in some way creates an illusion even for a moment. I think that is tremendous fun and what I think filmmaking is, catching lightning in a bottle.
Larry FessendenThe nature will continue, it's our existence that is finite and you are given this gift of life and you make your way with it, but fate and natural disasters will continue on.
Larry FessendenSound and sound design has always been very important to my approach to film, because it is a more subversive and allusive aspect of the medium.
Larry FessendenI really think in life there is a lot of mystery and things we just canโt understand and your brain has to adapt... We all have to deal with the twists of fate whether they are explained or not and itโs how you react in life to these curveballs that is really the measure of a man.
Larry FessendenI may love individual people, but I am contemptuous of the arrogance , and in a way, it's both ruined me and fuels me. It's ruined me because nobody cares about these issues, and then it's the source of most of my storytelling now, because I am so preoccupied with it. It fuels me, because this is my outrage. I do believe in that great tradition of literature and storytelling. You know, the downfall and the folly of it all.
