What Do You Fear, Most

Forget Being The Best Of Anything. That's The Fruit Of The Action, And You Do The Work -they Say- For The Doing, Not The Fruit. You Can Never Really Know How It's Gonna Turn Out In The World But You Know If You Enjoy Doing It. And Ideas Start Flowing And You Start Getting, You Know, Excited About Stuff. Then You're Having A Great Time In The Doing And That's What It's All About. If You Don't Enjoy The Doing, Then Do Something Else.

You Get A Painting Idea, And You Go Do That. You Get A Cinema Idea, And You Go In To Do That. The Difference Is, Even Though The Paintings Might Take Some Time To Make, With Cinema You Are Booked For A Year And A Half, Minimum.

I Hate Slick And Pretty Things. I Prefer Mistakes And Accidents. Which Is Why I Like Things Like Cuts And Bruises - They're Like Little Flowers. I've Always Said That If You Have A Name For Something, Like 'cut' Or 'bruise,' People Will Automatically Be Disturbed By It. But When You See The Same Thing In Nature, And You Don't Know What It Is, It Can Be Very Beautiful.

Cinema Is A Medium That Can Translate Ideas.

Script Is Not Finished Until It's Finished. There's Many Times, Partway Through A Film, When An Idea Comes, And I Say, "how Beautiful This Is. This Thing Was Not Complete And Look What's Happened, Look What's Come Along." And It Just Came Along At What Might Be Called A Strange Time Rather Than A Normal Time.
