struggle long lines
Film can't just be a long line of bliss. There's something we all like about the human struggle.
kind building torn
Building a set is like building a place, but it's a temporary place, because sets usually get torn down. Kind of unfortunate.
suffering scene filmmaker
A filmmaker doesn't have to suffer to show suffering. You just have to understand it. You don't have to die to shoot a death scene.
cows not-pretty
My cow is not pretty, but it is pretty to me.
film can-do
A film - especially when it's a personal film - is going to hit somebody or it's not. There's nothing you can do about it.
philadelphia said unkind
I've said many, many, many unkind things about Philadelphia, and I meant every one.
strong real creativity
A lot of artists think they want anger. But a real, strong, bitter anger occupies the mind, leaving no room for creativity.
black-and-white light color
Nowadays, people shoot digitally and it's all in color, but you press a button and it all goes to black and white. But it's not lit for black and white. So, it's a tricky thing. If you're going do black and white, you better remember to separate things with light, because color ain't gonna be there.
fire lit happenings
I've loved music always, and my music fire was lit by Elvis Presley, really, and all that was happening back then.
thinking meditation church
I was raised Presbyterian, but I'm not really going to church. I think the experience in meditation is pretty much where it's at for me.
quality way cameras
I love the quality, feel and history of film. I love the pictures of the giant cameras and the way it was.
snapping burned
I love super crispy, almost burned, snapping-crispy bacon.
falling-in-love ideas next
I have no problem getting financing. I have a problem catching ideas that I fall in love with for the next feature.
fans tesla
I don't like Thomas Edison. I'm a fan of Nicolai Tesla.
