It's A Simple Thing He [frank Daniel]

Humor Is Very Interesting To Me. My Films Are Not Comedies, But There's Comedy In Them From Time To Time, Absurdities, Just Like In Real Life.

I Have To Make What I See, Whether It's A Painting, A Table, Or A Movie, Or It's Like A Death And What Would Be The Point Of That?

I Love Mysteries. To Fall Into A Mystery And Its Danger ... Everything Becomes So Intense In Those Moments. When Most Mysteries Are Solved, I Feel Tremendously Let Down. So I Want Things To Feel Solved Up To A Point, But There's Got To Be A Certain Percentage Left Over To Keep The Dream Going. It's Like At The End Of Chinatown: The Guy Says, 'forget It, Jake, It's Chinatown.' You Understand It, But You Don't Understand It, And It Keeps That Mystery Alive. That's The Most Beautiful Thing.

I'm Not A Musician, But I Play Music. So It's A Strange Thing.

My Rule Of Thumb Is, What Siskel And Ebert Like, I Don't, And Vice Versa.
