I Don't Think You Can

I Have A Lot Of Land. I Bought It Because I Had A Very Strong Feeling. I Was In My Early Twenties, And I Had Grown Up In Los Angeles And Had Seen That City Slide Off Into The Sea From The City I Knew As A Little Kid. It Lost Its Identity - Suddenly There Was Cement Everywhere And The Green Was Gone And The Air Was Bad - And I Wanted Out.

I Am A Cynical Optimist. Big Opening Weekends Are Like Cotton Candy. The Films You Will Remember Over Time Are The Films That Stick In The Consciousness Of The Audience In A Good Way.

Politics Right Now Is In A Very Dark Place, And I Think The Only Place For Me Is To Do What I Do - Make Films, Create Art, Watch It As It Evolves. Right Now It's Like Humpty Dumpty Sitting On A Wall, And A Great Fall Is Happening. The Behavior Seems To Be Really Dumb.

I Have Faith In The Pendulum Swinging. Right Now It's So Far Against The Wall That It Can't Go Any Farther; It's Gonna Start To Swing Back. That's My Optimism. One Of The Cures Is Gonna Be Getting The American People To Fully Wake Up. All The American People, Particularly Young People, Because They're Gonna Inherit This Earth; They're Gonna Inherit What We're Doing.

I Have No Regrets, Because I've Done Everything I Could To The Best Of My Ability.
