Sometimes you have to bend with the breeze or you break.

The camera movement should be like a cat jumping onto a table - with just enough amount of effort and that's it. That's enough.

I want people to do what they want to do because when they feel comfortable it seems to translate better on screen. It is when you put people in a straitjacket that it doesn't seem to translate very well at all. The individuals I work with are usually people I know.

There is no right or wrong angle for something. The idea of putting the camera in an unfamiliar position is simply to do with film language. Sometimes it is spectacular, sometimes it is ugly, sometimes it is uninteresting.

Every time I start thinking the world is all bad, then I start seeing people out there having a good time on motorcycles. It makes me take another look.

As far as art and filmmaking is concerned, I don't see there's any separation; it's just one continuous thing.

The world is as good as you are. You've got to learn to like yourself first.
