We're living in a world that says that if you engage in mass fraud, you'll be rewarded, but if you go down the street and steal an orange juice, you get arrested.

So much can be learned by any filmmaker by studying his work, in terms of blocking, staging, editing and sound.

I believe in the utmost importance of one human being's actions toward another. This is actually what I believe in. How we handle one another, that's what makes us feel isolated, feel like outsiders sometimes. These questions are overwhelming. "What do you do in this world?" I believe in that more than anything.

You have to let life come and go.

Most of the projects aren't that interesting anymore. There used to be a day when the studios made amazing films, and they were about human beings.

Sometimes we have dreams, but we just can't make them. That's normal.

I never say "Action" or "Cut." Never. I think that would disturb the life from happening in and around everything.
