I'm Still Trying To Learn How To

I Don't Like American Football. I Think It's Boring And Ridiculous And Predictable. But Baseball Is Very Beautiful. It's Played On A Diamond.

I Went To Graduate Film School At Nyu, And At First I Didn't Get A Degree, Because I Took A Scholarship That Was Supposed To Pay My Tuition, And I Used It To Make A Film. For The Longest Time, I Never Actually Graduated. And About 70 Percent Of The Things I Learned There I Had To Unlearn, But 30 Percent Was Really Valuable. It's Like Mark Twain Said, "don't Let School Get In The Way Of Your Education."

When I Hear The Word Independent I Reach For My Revolver. At This Point, What The Hell Does That Mean? The English Patient Is An Independent Film... Hootie And The Blowfish Are Alternative Music. I'm The Queen Of Denmark. I Don't Know What It Means Anymore.

You Are The Accumulations Of Your Experiences At Any Given Point. And When You Express Something Those Things Come Out. The Thing Is I Hate Seeing My Films When I'm Done With Them, So I Don't Look Back As A Chart Of My Life, But I Leave It As A Kind Of Chart. Though, It Is A Photograph, Captured.

Music, To Me, Is The Most Beautiful Form, And I Love Film Because Film Is Very Related To Music. It Moves By You In Its Own Rhythm. It's Not Like Reading A Book Or Looking At A Painting. It Gives You Its Own Time Frame, Like Music, So They Are Very Connected For Me. But Music To Me Is The Biggest Inspiration. When I Get Depressed, Or Anything, I Go "think Of All The Music I Haven't Even Heard Yet!" So, It's The One Thing. Imagine The World Without Music. Man, Just Hand Me A Gun, Will You?
