When I believe in something, I fight like hell for it.

I don't like to put too much effort into things. I find that once you get involved with special effects it is no longer about what is happening in front of the camera and I really want to concentrate on what is happening in front of the camera, like the man apparently peeing on the surface of the screen.

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 need to have a reason why I'm doing something. Otherwise I'm lost.

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.

The Navajos have a saying they live by: 'A land where there is time enough and room enough.' I want that, too.

You see, I don't believe in that grabbin' and grabbin' and stuffin yourself and not givin' anythin' or puttin' it back.
