We have not found any smoking guns.
I never get myself in a situation where I don't have creative freedom.
I try to just make what I want to make or what I would want to see. I try not to think about the audience too much.
My parents were always encouraging of us being creative however we wanted to be. People say, "You didn't get pressured into having to be a director?" But it's hard to be around my dad and not be curious about filmmaking, because he thinks it's the ultimate medium.
When you're making a film you're thinking about how to tell the story visually.
I try to always be open to what the actors want to try. I don't storyboard and try to be intuitive and open on the day of filming.
I always remember my dad saying, "No one makes a remake unless they are trying to make money; there is no reason for it. " It was not an honorable thing to do.
My mother wanted me to be her wings, to fly as she never quite had the courage to do. I love her for that. I love the fact that she wanted to give birth to her own wings.
If that is the law of life we must work it out in daily exisitance. Wherever there are wars, wherever we are confronted with an opponent, conquer by love. I have found that the certain law of love has answered in my own life as the law of destruction has never done.
I used to tell my writing students that they must write the books they wished they could come upon - because then the books they hungered and thirsted for would exist.
I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives. For it is in our lives, and not from our works, that our religion must be read.
