When Something Possesses Me, I

I Did A Women's Movie, And I'm Not A Woman. I Did A Gay Movie, And I'm Not Gay. I Learned As I Went Along.

Basically The Movies I Make Are My Life, So I Choose How I Want To Live My Life For The Next Two Years. So That's A Decision I Have To Make. At Some Point If I Feel There Are Enough Elements - It Doesn't Even Have To Have Great Characters Or Great Stories - It's Just Elements That Can Get My Excitement And Curiosity For One Or Two Years, Then I'll Jump In And I'll Find Out What That Is. Then I Have To Do [interviews Like This] And Rationalize Why I Do This.

I Think The American West Really Attracts Me Because It's Romantic. The Desert, The Empty Space, The Drama.

A Lot Of People Will Think I Changed The Book: ‘so You’re The Tiger Instead, You’re The Tiger Who Ate The Cook.’ That’d Be Totally Expository, Like In The Book, ‘you’re The Tiger’ And Then It Stops There. That Seems To Have The Magic Touch. I Bring Everything Together. That’s Why He Made Up The Story, The Whole Thing Becomes Internalized. That Might Be The Magic, But All I Did Is Not So Much Interpreted, But Try My Best To Keep Everybody Still Staying In The Movie. And I Was Like, ‘god, It’s So Hard To Do.’ I Make Movies For A Long Time. It Doesn't Get Easier.

I'm Not A Master Of Films. I'm Rather A Slave.
