I Wouldn't Say That I'm Particularly Bothered

I Have A Way Of Filming Things And Staging Them And Designing Sets. There Were Times When I Thought I Should Change My Approach, But In Fact, This Is What I Like To Do. It's Sort Of Like My Handwriting As A Movie Director. And Somewhere Along The Way, I Think I've Made The Decision: I'm Going To Write In My Own Handwriting.

I Chose Philosophy Because It Sounded Like Something I Ought To Be Interested In. I Didn't Know Anything About It, I Didn't Even Know What It Was Talking About. What I Really Spent My Time Doing In Those Years Was Writing Short Stories. There Were All Sorts Of Interesting Courses, But What I Really Wanted To Do Was Make Stories One Way Or Another.

The Kids Are The Ones That Have A Clarity About What They Want. They Don't Have Any Wisdom, But They Do Have A Clear Understanding About What They Want To Have Happen.

With Each Movie I Have A Different Set Of Inspirations.

If I Have Ideas, I Want To Put Them In The Movie. It's Not A Minimalist Approach At All But I Feel Like It's For The Audience. It's About Seeing How Much Texture We Can Give It And Seeing How Many Things Are There For People To Latch On To... I Just Want To Do It The Way I Want And I Feel Like It Won't Be Helpful For Me If I Start Worrying About That. I Just Have To Follow My Instincts. Everyone Is Going To Respond Differently To It And Everybody's Right - That's Their Point Of View. That's How The Story Intersects With Their Lives.
