I Think Cynicism Lasts. Sentimentality Ages, Dates

A Lot Of Documentaries Have Been Made Very Quickly, But I Think They're Like Frogs In An Ecosystem: They're Harbingers. Film Is Always Two Or Three Years Behind, Because It Takes So Long To Write A Script, Get Financing, And Get It Made. It Just Takes A While. But I Think It's Coming. It Has To.

I'm Hoping One Day I Can Make One Really Good Film.

I Think Cynicism Lasts. Sentimentality Ages, Dates Quickly.

I Could Never Be A Part Of An Adaptation Of A Film Where There's Pressure To Not Disappoint The Immense Fan Base. In Those Cases, They Often Wind Up With Filmed Books On Tape, Quite Uncinematic. Having Said That, I'd Say All The Adaptations I've Done Are Quite Faithful To The Original... You Have To Pick And Choose Which Storylines And Plot Threads, Because You Don't Have The Time To Kill In The Film As They Have In Novels. All Those Pages With Detours And Plots And Different Storylines. But Films Add A Lot, And You Gotta Keep It Moving.

In The Moment Of Making Films, I Want To Share My Observations Of Life, Not Of Other Films.
