No Matter How Old You Get, If

There's A Difference Between Ad-libbing And Improvising. And There's A Difference Between Not Knowing What To Do And Just Saying Something. Or Making Choices As An Actor. As A Writer Also, As A Person Who's Making A Film, As A Cameraman, Everything Is A Choice. And It Seems To Me I Don't Really Have To Direct Anyone Or Write Down That Somebody's Getting Drunk; All I Have To Do Is Say That There's A Bottle There And Put A Bottle There And Then They're Going To Get Drunk.

I Won't Make Shorthand Films, Because I Don't Want To Manipulate Audiences Into Assuming Quick, Manufactured Truths.

You Can Fail In Films Because You Don't Have The Talent, Or You Have Too Much Humility, Or You Lack Ferociousness. I'm A Gangster. If I Want Something, I'll Grab It.

The Camera Is The Slave To The Actor.

No Matter How Old You Get, If You Can Keep The Desire To Be Creative, You're Keeping The Man-child Alive.
