When I Started Making Films, I Wanted

We Only Have Two Hours To Change People's Lives.

An Artist Can Accomplish Anything Provided He Doesn't Accept Facts Or Defeat For More Than A Few Minutes.

The Camera Is The Slave To The Actor.

My Films Are Expressive Of A Culture That Has Had The Possibility Of Attaining Material Fulfillment While At The Same Time Finding Itself Unable To Accomplish The Simple Business Of Conducting Human Lives. We Have Been Sold A Bill Of Goods As A Substitute For Life. What Is Needed Is Reassurance In Human Emotions; A Re-evaluation Of Our Emotional Capacities.

I'm Not Good At Comparing And Contrasting. I Take What's In Front Of Me For What It Is, Although I Guess There's Something About Paul's Realistic Writing That Is Like Cassavetes.
