I can't watch completed films - my wife makes fun of me.

From my experience in my country, America over and over again takes itself right to the brink, it puts one foot over but it never goes over. It wakes up at the last minute and says woah, and then pulls back...

I'm not a facelift person. I am what I am.

I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell's notion that a culture or society without mythology would die, and we're close to that.

Politics right now is in a very dark place, and I think the only place for me is to do what I do - make films, create art, watch it as it evolves. Right now it's like Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall, and a great fall is happening. The behavior seems to be really dumb.

I don't think about when it's going to stop and what you do before it stops. You just keep moving.

I don't remember spending any time with anybody on set. I don't spend a lot of time with people.
