Each One Of Us Is

I Still Consider Myself To Be An Amateur Filmmaker. And I Say That Because In The Latin Origin Of The Word Amateur Is The Word Love, And It's Love Of A Form, Whereas Professional Implies Something You Do For Money Or For Work.

I'd Wanted To Be A Writer And When I Came Back To New York Worked As A Musician Too, But I Found My Writing Starting To Get More And More Referential To Cinema.

I Never Start With The Story First, Which Is Maybe Obvious, Because The Narrative Line Of My Films Is Really Not That Strong Or Dramatic. They're Very Simple.

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 Have To Tell Everyone That When I Finish A Film And It Goes Out And Is Released, I Never Look At My Films Again. I Don't Like Looking Back. I Don't Even Like Talking About 'em! So I'm Really Digging Back In My Memory Because I Don't Like To Sit And Look At My Films Again.
