I've Spent My Life Hearing People Trying

I Like To Work My Camera As If It Were A Musical Instrument.

I've Held Onto Little Musical Sketches That I Thought Could Be Useful, And The More Time That I Spend Doing Them For Each Film, Then The More I Have To Draw On.

I Made My First Film On 16mm. Then I Began Using 35mm.then I Began Working In Hollywood. And I Began To Really Understand How Films Were Made By Professionals. I Have To Say I Wasn't Very Impressed.

It's Difficult Working With Very Rich Actors, Because Inevitably They Become A Little Spoilt, And The Managers And Agents Tend To Control Things More Than Is Healthy.

Obviously, I Try To Make The Films Work For An Audience. That's The Main Point Of Making A Film, And In Retrospect, One Can See That Certain Films, Let's Say Leaving Las Vegas, Demonstrated Its Own Success.
