I Love Variation In All

I Think Of Poets As Outlaw Visionaries In A Way.

I Went To Graduate Film School At Nyu, And At First I Didn't Get A Degree, Because I Took A Scholarship That Was Supposed To Pay My Tuition, And I Used It To Make A Film. For The Longest Time, I Never Actually Graduated. And About 70 Percent Of The Things I Learned There I Had To Unlearn, But 30 Percent Was Really Valuable. It's Like Mark Twain Said, "don't Let School Get In The Way Of Your Education."

No Mistakes Can Be Make During Rehearsals, Only Progress Toward What Works Best.

It Was A Really Interesting Time In New York In The Late 70s And Early 80s, And The Music Scene Was Really, Really Interesting Because You Didn't Have To Be A Virtuoso To Make Music, It Was More About Your Desire To Express Things.

I Like To Work With Actors That Have Varied Experiences. But I Don't Choose Them Because Of Their Experience, I Choose Them Because Of Qualities I Think Would Make An Interesting Character And To Me There Is No One Way To Direct Actors, There Is Only One Way To Collaborate With One Person.
