I Work With My Dreams Or Nightmares.

Casting Is Really A Black Art. It's A Huge Part Of Directing And It's The Most Invisible. It's One That People Don't Really Think About Or Talk About. But You Can Really Destroy Your Movie By Casting It Badly Before You've Shot A Foot Of Film. And Yet There Are No Guidebooks For It, There's No Rule Book To Tell You How To Do It. It's All Your Own Experience And Your Own Sensibility And Your Own Intuition.

I'm Very Anti-religious Because Religion Tends To Disembody You.

But With My Last Film, Spider It Was Agony. The Money Was Always Disappearing, Nobody Got Paid, It Was Very Difficult - And It's Very Distracting From The Process Of Making The Movie, Of Course. So I Think Things Have Been Getting Harder And Harder.

When We Talk About Violence, We're Talking About The Destruction Of The Human Body, And I Don't Lose Sight Of That. In General, My Filmmaking Is Fairly Body-oriented, Because What You're Photographing Is People, Bodies.

The Problem With Doing A Schlocky Or Big Budget Studio Film Is That It Wouldn't Actually Be Fun For Me. It Wouldn't Be Exciting.
