One Wants To Be Able

My Films Ought To Be Judged On Whether They're Entertaining Or Good As Films, But Not On The Political View Necessarily. I'm Trying To Be Morally Responsible And No More. I Don't Have An Agenda I'm Trying To Push.

Making A Film Is A Way For Me To Understand What It's Like To Be A Murderer, To Confess, To Be A Beaten Wife, To Be A Minority, To Be A Victor, To Get The Girl, To Lose The Girl. I Can Do All Of That Through The Practice Of An Art Form.

You Mustn't Regret Decisions That You Make. Because The Decisions Are Made Out Of Your Gut In A Way And You Have To Stick With Them.

Editing Feels Almost Like Sculpting Or A Form Of Continuing The Writing Process.

All Films Are Political, Whether They Mean To Be Or Not. Star Wars Is Political. As Soon As You Have Conflict, Which Is The Key To Most Films, You Have Politics. It's Just That Some Are More Artful With The Handling Of Politics Than Others.
