It Is Because My Roots Are So

Every Film Is A Political Act; It's How You See The World.

I Often Begin Movies With Music In My Head; It's A Very Important Dimension To Me. Not Just The Music Itself, But How To Use Music In Film: When And How And Subtlety. I Don't Like To Be Too Sweet In My Stories, And I Like The Abrasive Clang, The Contrasting Of Sounds And Cultures.

It's Only At This Age That I Can Say The Word 'art' Without Flinching.

We All Know The Power Of Film; We All Know There's Almost Nothing More Powerful Than To See People On Film That Look And Talk Like You, Like We Do.

Never Treat Anything You Do As A Stepping Stone. Do It Fully, And Follow It Completely.
