As An Artist, I Feel That We

Art Films Aren't Necessarily Photography. It's Feeling. If We Can Capture A Feeling Of A People, Of A Way Of Life, Then We Made A Good Picture.

You Must Be Willing To Risk Everything To Really Express It All.

I Have The Confidence That I Can Take Anybody And Have Them Give A Good Performance, Because I Don't Think There's Anything To Acting Except Expressing, Being Able To Converse. So If I Can Just Convince Somebody Not To Clean Themselves Up, And Not To Be Someone That They're Not, And Just Be What They Are In Given Circumstances, That's All That Acting Is To Me, And I Don't Think It's Very Difficult.

I'm Not Good At Comparing And Contrasting. I Take What's In Front Of Me For What It Is, Although I Guess There's Something About Paul's Realistic Writing That Is Like Cassavetes.

People Who Are Making Films Today Are Too Concerned With Mechanics - Technical Things Instead Of Feeling.
