When you look at my film you see footage that is unbelievably awesome and beautiful and dangerous looking. It's something that is very, very cinematic.

I'm not into digital marketing, downloading, or streaming - I've always been a man of the theaters.

I have not seen a film as powerful, surreal, and frightening in at least a decade unprecedented in the history of cinema.

Of course subjects are changing, and since I started so early in filmmaking, I did my first film at age 19, of course you grow up with your films and you are not trotting the same path all the time.

You will learn more by walking from Canada to Guatemala than you will ever learn in film school.

Facts do not convey truth. That's a mistake. Facts create norms, but truth creates illumination.

If you truly love film, I think the healthiest thing to do is not read books on the subject. I prefer the glossy film magazines with their big color photos and gossip columns, or the National Enquirer. Such vulgarity is healthy and safe.
