After Making Several Tragic Movies In A

I Have A Lot Of Repression. So Repression Is What I Make Movies About.

Not Taboo - It's Just That Straight Actors Still Risk Their Careers Commercially And Economically. They Have To Please The Crowd - They're Movie Stars; Their Image Is Their Industry. It Goes Beyond Acting.

The Thing We Call Critics Are Not Really Reviewers, They Are Not Really Critics. They Don't Have The Discipline To Write What We Would Term As Critique - It's Really Just Reviewers. They Have A Common Man Kind Of Taste. If You Watch Them Overall, They Are Not Different From The Box-office. That's My View.

When You Go For Something Because You're Curious About It, You Get Psyched Up About The Chance Of Getting Into It. It's Like An Actor Meets A Role, And You Slip Into That Body And See What Happens, To Experience Certain Conditions, To Adopt A Certain Character. Even Shooting Is A Study Of The Character. I Think Both The Character And The Actor, And Eventually The Filmmaker - Myself - Are Finding A Way To Accept Their Environment And Being Accepted And Feel Comfortable Of Themselves.

Thinking Back To Those Earlier Days, I Felt I Was Weak When I Wasn't Making Movies, And Then When I Was, I Thought I Was Weak As A Family Member.
