I think the best thing I learned from drawing comics is that it's a great exercise in concision.
I like cinema. I am very fond of it. But from time to time I feel like having some time on my own.
I can zero in on subtle things because I'm holding the camera.
My movies are, more or less, very short. I'm terrified of boring an audience.
I am not a fan of westerns particularly.
If a film is very clever and well-written, that's what gives you freedom as a director. Part of the freedom in directing, for me, is that I'm also the camera operator. That's the place where things are less rigid, where I can adjust as I go along.
