I can't stand outside myself and be anybody else.
From Kathryn Bigelow
I choose material instinctually - at the heart of it are characters that I feel are fresh and original, and allow for an opportunity to, I suppose, explore uncharted ground.
I need to have my hands on the DNA of a film.
I like high impact movies.
I don't know if I thrive in normal life.
Character and emotionality don't always have to be relegated to quieter, more simple constructs.
I did a pilot for Anything But Love in 1988 that didn't sell.
My movement from painting to film was a very conscious one.
When he brought it to me four years ago, Rodney King had just arrived, I was involved in the clean-up of L.A. and I guess it was part of my experience.
When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director.
