I guess I'd love to be surprised by something I had never thought of.

Little moments can have a feeling and a texture that is very real.

I've never felt fallow in the sense that there's been no work.

There are those moments when you shake someone's hand, have a conversation with someone, and suddenly your all bound together because you share your humanity in one simple moment.

I'm more relaxed about how the editing process will create a performance and that, in a way, gives me a sense of freedom.

In the studio system, things are expected of a film. By the first, second, third act, there's a generic language that comes out of the more commercial system.

The tensions between authority and the people need to be heard, especially when they are suffering and they can't eat.
