You've Got To Love Something Enough To

I Was Rather Shaken By All The Green Trees. I Always Am. It Gets Me. I Don't Want To Be Funny About It But I Am. I Loved Seeing All The Westerns, But I Had Asthma And Couldn't Go Anywhere, But I Loved Watching Them In Technicolor And Seeing The Cowboys And The Landscapes Of Monument Valley And You'd See The Forests Of The Anthony Mann Films And Think, 'wow, That's Fantastic', But I Could Never Go There!

For Me, The Key Image Is The Boat Coming Through The Fog At The Beginning. It's Something I Imagined And Liked And I Guess There Are Other References In Other Films I Make - The Similar Type Of Image. But I Think It's Interesting, It's Breaking Through The Mystery, Or Maybe It Stays In The Fog... We Don't Really Know. Where Is He At The Beginning Of The Film, Who Is He?

I'm Going To Be 60, And I'm Almost Used To Myself.

I Don't Think There's A Subject Matter That Can't Absorb 3-d; That Can't Tolerate The Addition Of Depth As A Storytelling Technique.

I'd Like To Do A Number Of Films. Westerns. Genre Pieces. Maybe Another Film About Italian Americans Where They're Not Gangsters, Just To Prove That Not All Italians Are Gangsters.
