You have to act and this is something that happened in abstract expressionism too, it was a discovery particularly in De Kooning's paintings, great paintings. There's a lot of speed in his work and the speed produces things that only speed can produce.

Speed is a way to escape consciousness and just act.

I know there is also the influence of television and being able to zap away so it is a weightier decision to go into the theater than it used to be. And probably attention spans are not as strong as they used to be, generally speaking.

When you narrow down your range and are looking through just that narrow aperture of the lens, the intensity of what you see is so much greater.

I try to make each film a different film.
