The Best Cinema Is About

A Lot Of Documentaries Have Been Made Very Quickly, But I Think They're Like Frogs In An Ecosystem: They're Harbingers. Film Is Always Two Or Three Years Behind, Because It Takes So Long To Write A Script, Get Financing, And Get It Made. It Just Takes A While. But I Think It's Coming. It Has To.

I Don't Want All Of American Cinema To Be Big Cartoons That Are Just Made To Be Digested By The Entire World.

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.

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

The Better A Novel Is, In Literary Terms, The More You Can't Be Faithful. The Novel Succeeds On Terms Exclusive To Literature. A Good Film Succeeds On Terms Exclusive To The Cinema. That's Why So Many Bad Novels Can Become Good Movies.
