There Is A Great Tradition Of Independent

People Have Been Very Resistant To Giving Me More Than The Standard Amount Of Money. So I Keep Making Films On A Similar Scale. Which Is Fine, But Also Frustrating.

In The First Place, I'm Pretty Thorough About Whom I Choose. I Instinctively Look For The Kind Of Actor Who Is Going To Be Trusting. There Are All Kinds Of Insecure People Out There Called Actors.

Given The Events Of Even The 19th Century, Zionism Was Inevitable. Given The Events Of The 20th Century, Israel Was Inevitable.

The Main Problem Is That The Hollywood System Has Already Made The Film Before The Director Shoots A Single Frame.

I Hope I Make Films Where You Walk Away . . . With Work To Do, Arguments To Have, Things To Worry About, Things To Care About. In That Sense, I Would Regard What I Do As Political.
