Film Is A Collective Experience, As You

I See My Job As Trying To Entertain You, To Be Balanced In Some Way, And Morally Responsible. I Don't Want To Glorify A Killer. I Don't Want To Glorify A Rapist. I Don't Want To Do Those Things, But On The Other Hand I Don't Want To Lecture To You, Either.

Every Film I've Made Has A Kind Of Frustrated Love Story In The Center Of It. They Were People Who Saw Life From Opposing Points Of View, Which Has Been In Every Film I've Ever Done. It Had All The Ingredients Of The Kinds Of Films I Like To Do.

I Don't Consider Myself A Teacher Of Moral And Political Positions. I Don't Want To Be That. I Can't Help But Have A Point Of View When I Make A Film, But My First Job Is To Entertain You.

When You Work Without A Script, You Are In A Sense Working In A Much More Improvisational Way Than When You Are Prepared Totally.

By That I Mean, I Think That It Is True That Politics And Political Heroes Have To Satisfy Our Need To Be Greater Than Mortal In Some Way, And That's Led Them Into Creating Illusions, Sound Bites, Focus Groups That Tell You What To Do.
