In discussing the process with the actors, I made it clear to them that they could improvise but that the sum total of their improvisation needed to impart certain plot points, and schematic material.

I started using film as part of live theatre performance - what used to be called performance art - and I became intrigued by film.

I've held onto little musical sketches that I thought could be useful, and the more time that I spend doing them for each film, then the more I have to draw on.

There's nothing I've done which I'm ashamed of or I thought was actually bad.

I like to work my camera as if it were a musical instrument.

But I don't have such a strong desire to need to get away from filmmaking.

I would certainly say that films like Time Code and the Loss of Sexual Innocence were far more rewarding to me in terms of being able to move forward as a filmmaker.
