criticism relate my-own
As for how criticism of Keats' poetry relates to criticism of my own work, I'll leave that for others to decide.
people imagine i-can
I can't imagine people telling me what to do - I just can't imagine it.
anxiety doubt tough
If you read Keats's poems, they're often full of doubts and anxieties. They can be quite tough.
thinking way moments
I think the whole tension about romanticism is the way it builds and builds, and the moment it's consummated, the tension's over.
cameras actors persona
So many actors are not open in front of the camera - they have a persona.
piano television ends
'The Piano' ended up on television. Everything ends up there anyway.
mother daughter real
I had a daughter who was 9 years old and I had the feeling I wasn't going to be a real parent if I didn't quit making movies for a while and spend time with her. I also felt that I'd made enough movies and said what I had to say at the time.
art school tails
There was a big drive when I was at art school to make you aware of the economy of meaning - after all, this was still during the tail end of minimalism. Being responsible for everything you put in your picture, and being able to defend it. Keeping everything clear around you so you know what is operating. To open the wound and keep it clean.
art children father
I did this Super-8 film at art school called 'Tissues,' this black comedy about a family whose father has been arrested for child molestation. I was absolutely thrilled by every inch of it, and would throw my projector in the back of my car and show it to anybody who would watch it.
falling-in-love waiting firsts
When you first fall in love it's so thrilling, you can't wait to throw yourself away and make this new wonderful twosome.
growing-up tragedy grows
Tragedy makes you grow up.
home trying directors
Performers are so vulnerable. They're frightened of humiliation, sure their work will be crap. I try to make an environment where it's warm, where it's OK to fail - a kind of home, I suppose.
ethos vision directors
To deny women directors, as I suspect is happening in the States, is to deny the feminine vision.
problem
I have to admit that I had a lot of problems with poetry.
