The One Thing You Can Count On

I Don't Read Newspapers Too Much , Just Because They Tend To Make Me Feel I Have A Political Obligation That I Think Is A Distraction From What My Political Offerings Are Going To Be If I Just Make My Movies.

It's A Foreground Of My Feeling. That Place Moves Me. And I Don't Mean My Country; It's Part Of Our Shared Natural World That Happens To Be Particular To A Sense Of Wherever My Storytelling Inclinations Come From And My Own History Of Kind Of Being A Road Rat And Travelling.

Whatever One Considers Art To Be, There Is In Many People A Hunger To Express Themselves Creatively And To Feel Authentic In Doing That.

On Any Movie I'm Involved With, I Say What I Think.

When I Was Growing Up And Somebody Like Robert De Niro Had A Movie Come Out, It Was A Cultural Event. Because He Had Such A Confidence And A Single Mission That Was So Intimate.
