The Beauty Of Life Is

I Am Interested In The Non-dramatic Moments In Life. I`m Not At All Attracted To Making Films That Are About Drama. A Few Years Back, I Saw A Biopic About A Famous American Abstract Expressionist Artist. And You Know What? It Really Horrified Me.

As Soon As You Start Making A Film That's Expensive Then The Studio Wants Total Control Over All Elements Of It Because They Want To Get All Their Money Back. If You Make A Smaller Film You Can Try A Lot More Things Because You Can Have Control Over It And Not Just Be A Hired Director. The Lower The Budget The More Freedom You Have.

I Like All Forms Of Movies. I'm A Movie Geek, So I Watch All Kinds Of Films, But - And I Read All Kinds Of Things, Too. But The Poetry That Speaks To Me The Most Directly Will Contain Mundane Things, Will Contain Details.

You Can Define Everything As Being Political And Analyze It Politically.

I Have A Real Respect For Tobacco As A Substance, And It Just Seems Very Funny How The Western Attitude Is, "wow, People Are Addicted To This, Think Of All The Money You Can Make Off It."
