By using formula in filmmaking we are admitting that film is not art.

I define art as a work created by a human that has a unique point of view and discovers something that was not there before.

Once an audience feels that you trust them like you trust a friend, they do become your friends.

I guess for major film industry players a film is a money making devise, so using formulas assures them that their investment will have returns. A lot of big studio films are created by formulas and committees, stripping away any individuality or personality from the work so that they could appeal to most everyone on there planet but to no one in particular.

When I do only images, people don't connect with the images because the images are too weird to understand. But when I explain the weird images with straight words, then all of a sudden there is a tension between the two that the audience wants to see.

What inspires me is when I see something and I say, "I can do that too!"

Even if you have a gift, it's nearly impossible to become a good actor in just a few weeks of training.
