I Love When People Are

I Think In The '80s, When I Started Making Films, We Were All Suspicious Of These Technologies. We Were All Convinced They Would Filter Out Any Emotion And Sense Of Intimacy, And The Films I Made During That Period Reflected That. In Fact, What Has Happened Is The Opposite. I Think We're Saturated With A Degree Of Intimacy We Would Never Have Expected, And We're Trying To Sort Through This Idea Of Complete Access To Each Other's Lives On An Ongoing Basis. Our Emotions Aren't Filtered Out At All. They're Actually Accelerated.

I Think Entire Social Groups Are Formed Through Technologies That Could Never Exist In The Real World, And Relationships That Are A Function Of These Technologies' Ability To Accelerate Feeling And Emotional Contact.

It Is About This Very Abstract Sense Of Displacement That He Feels The Moment He Turns Off The Television.

I Just Think I Love The Process Of Making Films. It's Not Tortuous For Me At All. I Love Being With My Crew. I Love Actors. There's A Joy To The Process.

That's A Very Odd Notion Because It Involves Seeing Money Up There On The Screen - If Something Cost $5 Million To Make, They Want To See That $5 Million Up There.
