Directing, I Get All Kinds Of Inspiration.

Making This Movie As A Period Piece About A Period That Was Very Recent In People's Minds. I Was In Taiwan [during The 1970s], So I Hope I Did All Right. Otherwise, It Could Be The Biggest Embarrassment Of My Life. Also, The Story Is Not Linear, It's Patchy, Like A Cubist Painting, And There Is Always The Possibility It Will Not Hold Together, It Will Fall Apart. The Tone Is Part Satire, Part Serious Drama, Part Tragedy, All Mixed Together, And It Has To Hit An Emotional Core. That's Also Very Scary.

I Try To Be A Partygoer. But At Some Point I Don't Know Why I'm Doing It And Fall Back. I've Been Using Repression, The Struggle Between Behaving As A Social Animal. You're Seeking To Be Honest With Your Free Will, Less Conflict. I Think That's An Important Subject With Me. That's Who I Am, How I Was Brought Up. I Think I Use That A Lot. I Mistrust Everything I Think. Things You Think You Can Trust, Believe In, Or Hang On To, Changes. That's The Essence Of Life.

I Feel That Everyone Has A Hulk Inside, And Each Of Our Hulks Is Both Scary And, Potentially, Pleasurable. That's The Scariest Thing About Them.

Kids Don't Even Read Comic Books Anymore. They've Got More Important Things To Do - Like Video Games.

There's A Level Of Sophistication Of Filmmaking That's Mind-boggling. Anything You Need For Your Movie, There's An Establishment That Can Make It Happen Really Fast.
