I think maybe making films is something innate you can't really teach to begin with.
It's luck that one thing works out and one doesn't, it's sort of happenstance.
As a teenager, I wanted to write novels. By college, it was theater, plays, and then, shortly, it was film.
You make a film and you can't really pick the way it's put to the public. You control the content, but the way it's marketed, or the poster, or what they're telling the public about the film, it's beyond you. Some people don't even see them, because they think they already know it. That can be frustrating, when something you've done is marketed in a way you think is antithetical to what it is.
I don't think all films should necessarily look like they do on digital video. I think it cheats the audience, at some point. If you try to make an epic and you shoot it digitally, that doesn't make much sense. I think there's a certain kind of film that could be a "digital film. " But it shouldn't be interchangeable with other films. It should be something more than just a capture medium. It should be a different form altogether, something new.
To those humans in whom I have faith; I wish suffering, being forsaken, sickness, maltreatment, humiliation. I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, and the misery of the vanquished. I have no pity for them because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not—that one endures'. . . Remember, the passion for destruction is also a creative passion.
The dreamer can know no truth, not even about his dream, except by awaking out of it.
The moon develops the imagination, as chemicals develop photographic images.
I don't feel insecure about any of this work anymore. Maybe I don't have what I had when I was younger. I'm not really hungry to prove anything to anybody, really. But when I stand outside myself and observe what I think are my strengths and weaknesses going into directing, it's what you just said, an affliction to organize moments.
The shortest distance between two points is often unbearable.
