I do like working on television but I prefer film. I just want to work mainly but the pace on a movie is slower and you get to form more of a family. There is more time to work with whereas TV is faster paced.
I'm hoping one day I can make one really good film.
I'm sure every film it's going to be like, 'Okay, this is the scene where your shirt gets ripped off.' I'll never be able to keep my shirt on.
No, I did a film called 'Death and the Compass' as well.
Yeah, I'd be happy to go back to Mexico or Japan to make another film.
I'm me, I live from film to mouth.
On film you put all your energies into a single glance.
Well, if you ask any filmmaker how they got into it, everyone came a different route. Ive never actually watched another director work.
I love a film where I get squished by two dumpsters or I fly through the air.
You'll see Dame Judi Dench in a Bond film, in Shakespeare and then starring in her own sitcom. You never see that here with Meryl Streep.
My films seem to be better understood and better received by the monthly publications. On television the first reactions are usually unfavorable.
I never had any special appetite for filmmaking, but you have to make a living and it is miraculous to earn a living working in film.
I'm glad that my films have been consistently faring well rather than one stray Friday!
I love films for the fact that it is like working under a microscope. It is sort of like a laboratory.
If somebody had started on a remake of French Kiss before I announced my own film, I would have dropped my subject. If someone else starts after me, what am I to do?
I believe that the internet as an open platform for distribution could be a great chance for the diversity of film production.
I love the conversation between film and music.
The challenge, really, on any new film is to try to avoid that and achieve a few moments that aren't cliche.
What I had to say was, in general, I'm not really a fan of any one genre of any kind of film.
A successful film is a good film, and a non-successful film is a bad film. It's as simple as that.
My films are of paramount importance to me, the same as my family. That's not going to change. This is a balance I have to strike throughout my life.
Close-Up is a very particular film in my oeuvre. It's a film that was made in a very particular way; mainly because I didn't really have the time to think about how to go about making the film.
Wes Craven is obviously a horror film icon so I was definitely very interested in bringing something back to life that Wes had created.
In film, you are a totally different person than in the video.
AN ABSOLUTELY VITAL FILM. Exacting, enraging and revelatory. A clear, temperate and devastating account of high level arrogance and incompetence.
