I live for myself and answer to nobody

Stardom equals freedom. It's the only equation that matters.

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

Often the best way to relax is just to go back to work.

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 deal with certain things in my work because of who I am. I make work in order to make people think.

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