Most of my work is okay to look at on a TV screen or a flat screen, but this is actually much better in a theatre.

I don't see my work as being all that personal. I've used my personal experience in the world, of course, or at least my way of looking at the world. But I think that's changed as I've gotten older.

Technology changes so much that it has forced me to adapt.

Little people have changed from the 1970s to now.

When people ask me what's the best thing I like, my head starts scrambling and I just can't think of anything. Depending on the day, I might say this or that. I really don't have any specific thing that I like better than others.

I always chose talkative people. And Viva, who was my first wife - we started making films together because she was extraordinarily creative. I was drawn to those people who tended to talk or act differently. The nice thing about using your friends as actors is they trust you. I wouldn't use footage of people that was destructive to them.
