“At the end of the day it doesn't matter how much money people are being paid or how many trucks you have on the sidelines. What'd you get inside the frame? That's all I care about.”

“The editing has got to be in the writing.”

“Telling stories in film “is what I decided to do in life, to keep alive, and to tell people who I am.””

“I'm a very literary person, not so much a cinematographic person. I don't really like cinema very much.”

“The length of a movie all depends on what you want to say. I don’t care what is acceptable.”

“Movies used to show me a world that I would never be able to see.”

“I just try to make the best film I can. There’s no real ambition, so to speak. I love movies.”
