Quotes
  • I`ve seen thousands of films where people are brought down, where it`s "life is terrible and we all agree" and the critical audience is over here for that, and the general public is over here. And it seems that cinema has gone out, or life, has gone out a kilter.

  • [On his filming ideas] Give all the bad information up front and then try and make... the story, where I can elevate the spirit.
    (imdb.com)
  • I find in modern cinema now...people don`t like the mystic or the spiritual. It`s become almost a dirty word now.
