The Major Studios Are By

I Get A Little Scared Of Words Like Maturity.

I Don't Read Newspapers Too Much , Just Because They Tend To Make Me Feel I Have A Political Obligation That I Think Is A Distraction From What My Political Offerings Are Going To Be If I Just Make My Movies.

Rebel Is Just As Bad A Word As Maturity.

A Clearer And More Conventional Narrative Would Have Helped The Film Without, In My Opinion, Lessening Its Beauty And Its Impact. Frankly, I'm Still Trying To Figure Out What I'm Doing There And What I Was Supposed To Add In That Context! What's More, Terry Malick Himself Never Managed To Explain It To Me Clearly.

The Heartbreak That It Might Not Happen Wasn't Something That I Wanted To Face With Any More Weight. Then, When I Got The Call To Go Ahead I Never Thought For A Second As I Was Approaching It Who I Would Get - That Would Come Later. Again, I Think The Idea Was That I Now Had The Rights To Make The Movie And I Can Start Writing It But If I Have To Wait Another 10 Years Before I Find An Actor That's Right For It, I'd Be Very Happy To Do That.
