I Don't Feel Despair Because

A Book Is A Book, But A Movie Is A Movie. The More Faithful You Are, The More You'll Come Up With Harry Potter #1 And #2, Which Are Like Filmed Books On Tape. They're So Petrified Of Turning Off The Readers That They Make No Concessions To The Fact That They're Trying To Make A Piece Of Cinema.

Each One Of My Movies Becomes Easier To Get Off The Ground.

There Is An Audience Out There For Literate Films - Slower, More Observant, More Human Films, And They Deserve To Be Made.

But It's Just That The Whole Country Is Making Generally Lousy Films These Days And Has Been For Quite A While. That's The Big Problem That We All Have To Think About.

I Always Think About Visual Comedy. I Was Raised Watching Silents, And I'm Always Thinking About How To Make Cinema, Not Good Talking - Although I Want Good Talking. I'm Much More Interested In Framing, Composition, And Orchestration Of Bodies In Space, And So Forth. My Goal Is Always What Chuck Jones Wanted His Warner Brothers Cartoons To Be, Which Was If You Turn Down The Sound, You Could Still Tell What's Going On.
