Human Beings Are Amazing At Finding Ways

Hollywood Is Great. I Also Think It's Stupid And Small-minded And Shortsighted.

You Can’t Take Everything On. That’s Why When People Ask How Does This Film Fit Into My Oeuvre. I Say 'i Don’t Know. I Don’t Think In Those Terms’. If I Did, I Might Become Incapacitated By Fear . . . How Do You Eat A Whale? One Bite At A Time. How Do You Shoot A 150-day Movie? You Shoot It One Day At A Time.

Our Pavlovian Response To Movies Has Gotten To Its Lowest Point Ever. You Look At A Lot Of Movies That Are Successful And A Lot Of Movies That Studios Hold Up As Examples And You Go, 'my God, That Isn't Even A Story. It Isn't Even Two Acts. It's Eight Set Pieces Drawn Out With Slow Motion.' The Difficulty For Me Was That You Had To Hope That People Were Interested In This Kind Of A Story.

You Have The Power To Pause Stuff And You Have The Power To Go To The Bathroom. You Can Do Whatever You Want In Your Own Home. It's A Much More Relaxed Thing. It's More Like A Book, It Seems To Me. That's Kind Of The Way I Watch Movies.
