As You Get Older, You Suffer Fools

I Think On Some Level, You Do Your Best Things When You're A Little Off-balance, A Little Scared. You've Got To Work From Mystery, From Wonder, From Not Knowing.

A Lot Of Critics Are Lazy. They Don't Want To Look Closely And Analyze Something For What It Is. They Take A Quick First Impression And Then Rush To Compare It To Something They've Seen Before.

I'm An Optimist. I Hope If A Movie's Good That It Will Be A Success, But That's Not Always True, Just Because Of Popular Taste Or Any Other Reasons. When Something Doesn't Do Better Than It Deserves To In Your Mind, It's Pretty Transparent - You Usually Know Why. Is That A Comfort? Yes, Because It's Logical. Does It Make You Happy? No, Because If You Think A Movie Is Beautiful Or Interesting, You Want To Share It. Sometimes You Make Very Interesting Movies That Aren't Meant For Everybody. But This Is A Capitalist Society, So Everything Conspires To Put Value On Whether It Sells Or Not.

Emotionally Men And Women Are Different, But Only As A Result Of The Physical Differences. It All Comes Back To Our Bodies.

Truth Is, Generally I Like Film Festivals; Somewhere At Some Level There's An Exchange Of Ideas.
