I've Seen Many, Many Movies

As A Kid I Watched The Academy Awards On Television And Always Wanted One - Or Several - Like One Of My Favorite Directions, John Ford. He Won Six. On The Other Hand, Orson Welles, Who's On The Top Of My List, Didn't Win Any. Alfred Hitchcock Didn't Win Any. Howard Hawks Didn't Win Any.

Now More Than Ever We Need To Talk To Each Other, To Listen To Each Other And Understand How We See The World, And Cinema Is The Best Medium For Doing This.

The Most Important Thing Is, How Can I Move Forward Towards Something That I Can't Articulate, That Is New In Storytelling With Moving Images And Sound?

I Prefer People Who Don't Get Caught, And If They Do Get Caught, I Prefer People Who Don't Give In.

You Have To Remain Strong. That's The Kind Of Filmmaker I Want To Encourage. Orson Welles Was The One Who Said, You Know, You Can Learn Anything You Need To Know About Filmmaking- That's Camera, Sound, Celluloid, Video At This Point- In Four Hours. It Has Nothing To Do With Anything. It Has Nothing To Do With It... It Has To Do With What You Want To Say. If You Feel You Have Something To Say, You'll Find That Way To Get It Said, On Film, And Not Let Anyone Or Anything Chip Away At That Or Tarnish It, Because It's Something Special And Precious.
