When I'm Writing, I Don't Put Faces

I'm A Very Dull Passenger. I Don't Speak. I Don't Have Sex. No Alcohol. I Don't Do Drugs. The Thing That I Like About Flying Is That I Feel Like I Can Really Concentrate. I Used To Write Many Things, And Many Ideas For My Movies Belong To This Moment Where I'm Not Anywhere Specifically In Terms Of Time And Space And Geography. I Am Suspended, And This Suspension Fits Me Very Well.

Once We Actually Have The Production Script After Many Rewrites, At That Point Is When I Start To Decide What The Look And Colors Will Be. I Work Like A Painter, Even Though I'm Working In Three Dimensions. I'm Working With Chairs. I'm Working With Walls. But Even Things Like The Floor Or The Walls That People Might Think Are Not Important, They Actually Do Influence The Visual Look Of The Film. These Are Also Things That I Have To Think About.

Each Actor Is A Very Different Person, And Each One Has To Be Directed Very Differently.

I Am Partly Not Conscious Of Structure With My Movies, But This Is When I Am Writing. I Leave My Mind Very Free, And Then I Correct It After.

The Silent Film Has A Lot Of Meanings. The First Part Of The Film Is Comic. It Represents The Burlesque Feel Of Those Silent Films. But I Think That The Second Part Of The Film Is Full Of Tenderness And Emotion.
