bothering express liberating time
When you have something that is bothering you, and then you articulate, take the time to really express it and see it clearly, to recognize. To acknowledge that is already a liberating energy.
affected caves immediacy love saw scratch
The cavemen, when they saw the antelopes, they had to scratch them on to the caves because they needed to express the immediacy of what they were being affected by - and I love that. That is why I do what I do. I need to express myself.
bet emotional honest invest open protect touches
In a world where irony reigns, where you have to separate, protect and laugh at anything that is honest or has an emotional charge, I bet for catharsis. I like to invest emotionally in things. And catharsis, when it touches the emotional vein, can open the doors of even those who protect themselves.
question
To question your own process is a necessity. If you don't question yourself, it's impossible to improve.
call high higher might
I have a lot of what you might call creative self-loathing - I have pretty high expectations, and they seem to consistently be higher than what I'm able to accomplish.
accomplish challenge difficult good life
For me, the most important thing that I have to accomplish is to be a good father. That's the most difficult challenge of my life. That's the most important thing for me, more than films.
bit love satisfy
When we are looking for validation, that will never satisfy us. When we are looking for affection, for love, a little bit of that will be enough to be complete.
time
Time is what allows stories to spread into people's consciousness.
I really didn't want to become branded as 'that multistructural guy.'
lives realized
I realized - and I am probably the last person in the world to realize this - that we live our lives with no editing.
experience good learned liberating terrifies
I learned with 'Birdman' that it's liberating when you just lose yourself and go after something that terrifies you. The experience was so good.
people work worked
I know how to work with people. I've worked with the same people for 10 years. I'm not that kind of auteur. I hear ideas.
met obsessed
I have never met a superhero, but why are we so obsessed with superheroes?
I have learned that I am a one-woman man.
