Either you care, or you don't. There's no in-between. And if you care, then go all of the way.

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

I'm happy - at times - making films. I'm certainly unhappy not making films.

Either you care, or you don't. There's no in-between. And if you care, then go all of the way.

I'm a slave to my imagination in terms of making narrative films.
