I Think The Purpose Of Test Screenings

I'm Part Of The Consumer Culture... I'm Just Using The Space I Am Given To Express Something That Is Out Of The Space So I'm Part Of The Consumer System But I'm Advocating Stepping Out. Which Is A Contradiction But I Could Be Part Of He Consumer System And Say, 'let's Consume Even More.'

When I Shoot Actors, I Have That Dilemma. I Want The Actor To Be Good, And Sometimes I Have To Push Them To A Place That Isn't Pleasant. I Always Think: 'is It Worth Doing For The Sake Of The Movie?' But I Have To Remember The Bigger Picture.

I Like To Use A Bit Of Chaos When I Shoot. I Think It May Be Something From The Way I Shot My First Film - I Was Very Scared, Of Course, And I Prepared Everything, I Wanted To Make Sure That The Characters Did The Right Thing At The Right Time On The Storyboard. But Then I Realised That In Life, There Is So Much More Than What You Can Predict Or Write In Advance, That When You Shoot The Story, It's Good To Leave Some Gaps Where You Lose Control. I Think This Combination Of Chaos And Organisation Gives A Kind Of Quality.

The Beauty Of Doing Film Is That You Construct Whatever You Do Block By Block And You Can Build Something That Will Stay.

I've Always Liked The Idea Of Inventing Stuff. My Father Told Me, Because I Was Naïve, I Would Think Things Could Work And Therefore Do Them, Because I Would Have No Doubt Even Though There Was No Solid Foundation For This Confidence. I Don't Think I Would Be A Real Inventor. But When I Set Out To Do Animation, Which Was My First Step Into Film-making, I Realised I Could Achieve This Idea. I Could Take Some Elements, Create A Sort Of Clumsy Invention, And Make Them Work For The Camera.
