Given The Events Of Even The 19th

For Me The Journey Of Making A Film Is A Journey Of Discovery As To What That Film Is. I Mean What I Do Is What Other Artists Do, Painters, Novelists, People That Make Music, Poets, Sculptors, You Name It. It's About Starting Out And Working With The Material And Discovering Through Making, Working With The Material The Artifact.

Given The Choice Of Hollywood Or Poking Steel Pins In My Eyes, I'd Prefer Steel Pins.

Given The Events Of Even The 19th Century, Zionism Was Inevitable. Given The Events Of The 20th Century, Israel Was Inevitable.

I Hope I Make Films Where You Walk Away . . . With Work To Do, Arguments To Have, Things To Worry About, Things To Care About. In That Sense, I Would Regard What I Do As Political.

My Job Apart From Anything Else Is To Build An Ensemble Composed Of Actors Who All Come From A Secure Place So That They Can All Work Together To Make The Film.
