A Lot Of Innovation In

I Am Interested In The Non-dramatic Moments In Life. I`m Not At All Attracted To Making Films That Are About Drama. A Few Years Back, I Saw A Biopic About A Famous American Abstract Expressionist Artist. And You Know What? It Really Horrified Me.

I Visited Paterson Many Years Ago - 20 Some Years Ago As A Kind Of Day Trip Because Of William Carlos Williams, Because Of Allen Ginsberg Having Lived There. And I Went To The Great Falls And Sat Really In The Exact Same Spot As Adam Driver Does As Paterson. And I Walked Around The Factory Buildings, And I Was Rereading - I Was Reading At The Time The Epic Length Poem "paterson" By Williams.

I Like To Rehearse With The Actors Scenes That Are Not In The Script And Will Not Be In The Film Because What We're Really Doing Is Trying To Establish Their Character, And Good Acting To Me Is About Reacting.

I'm Not An Analytical Person, So It's Not My Job To Even Know What The Hell The Thing Meant. It's Not My Problem. I'm Just Supposed To Do It. Sometimes, People Have Explained Things To Me That I Might Have Been Semi-conscious Of Or Not.

I Prefer To Be Subcultural Rather Than Mass-cultural. I'm Not Interested In Hitting The Vein Of The Mainstream.
