I Like To Think Of Film-making Not

I Think Cynicism Lasts. Sentimentality Ages, Dates Quickly.

Comedy Is A Wonderful Device For Distance That Allows Us To Look At What We're Talking About With Some Degree Of Distance And Hopefully With A Bit More Perspective And Honesty. With Many Exceptions, A Movie With No Jokes Is Far Less Appealing To Me.

In The Moment Of Making Films, I Want To Share My Observations Of Life, Not Of Other Films.

A Lot Of Documentaries Have Been Made Very Quickly, But I Think They're Like Frogs In An Ecosystem: They're Harbingers. Film Is Always Two Or Three Years Behind, Because It Takes So Long To Write A Script, Get Financing, And Get It Made. It Just Takes A While. But I Think It's Coming. It Has To.

I Don't Feel Despair Because I Am Able To Make The Films I Want To Make, And That Gives Me Hope.
