Socially in my alliances I wanted to just have a strong alliance and making decisions but not putting it out there but letting other people be the target in that way. I think it worked until I should not have been playing that way anymore.

Sometimes you talk to people who really don't know anything about your work, and what can you say?

The things that can go wrong are particular to mediums and they make for qualities that really are of the medium.

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 don't watch a lot of reality TV.

I don't know what is happening to people but they are not as tough as they used to be.

There is really not that much improvisation in my films. There is an acceptance of a chance.
