You Don't Do Background Music The Way

Usually When I'm Making A Movie, What I Have In Mind First, For The Visuals, Is How We Can Stage The Scenes To Bring Them More To Life In The Most Interesting Way, And Then How We Can Make A World For The Story That The Audience Hasn't Quite Been In Before.

I Guess When I Think About It, One Of The Things I Like To Dramatise, And What Is Sometimes Funny, Is Someone Coming Unglued. I Don't Consider Myself Someone Who Is Making The Argument That I Support These Choices. I Just Think It Can Be Funny.

I'm Very Sorry For Your Loss. Your Mother Was A Terribly Attractive Woman.

If I Have Ideas, I Want To Put Them In The Movie. It's Not A Minimalist Approach At All But I Feel Like It's For The Audience. It's About Seeing How Much Texture We Can Give It And Seeing How Many Things Are There For People To Latch On To... I Just Want To Do It The Way I Want And I Feel Like It Won't Be Helpful For Me If I Start Worrying About That. I Just Have To Follow My Instincts. Everyone Is Going To Respond Differently To It And Everybody's Right - That's Their Point Of View. That's How The Story Intersects With Their Lives.

I Chose Philosophy Because It Sounded Like Something I Ought To Be Interested In. I Didn't Know Anything About It, I Didn't Even Know What It Was Talking About. What I Really Spent My Time Doing In Those Years Was Writing Short Stories. There Were All Sorts Of Interesting Courses, But What I Really Wanted To Do Was Make Stories One Way Or Another.
