I don't know what drives me, but I wake up in the morning, and I want to participate in the creative cultural conversation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My understanding of the creative process is simply that all cultures and all concerns meet at a certain point, the human point in which everything is related to one another. That has been my creative experience. I never know who's influencing me at any time.
I have a multicultural background, so I tend to have an open mind about things, and I find other cultures interesting.
I'm a bit of a night owl because that's when I feel the most creative and alive.
Just as we acquaint ourselves with materials, and just as we must understand functions, we must become familiar with the psychological and spiritual factors of the day. No cultural activity is possible otherwise, for we are dependent on the spirit of our time.
I am at home in many cultures. I live actively in three continents and I've done that for most of my life, so I just make films as I see the world, and that happens to speak to people. I do things that I want to do.
I love getting into people's brains and understanding the creative impetus for something.
I like making films about different cultures. I'm interested in things that I've never encountered before. I try to put myself in the audience's position.
I now talk to different cultures, and I hope that I can bridge those gaps and differences between us. It's an adventure, a dream... I feel like I'm on an anthropological mission.
For me, what makes life enjoyable is having a shared culture and shared references.
I want to have a cultural impact. I want to be an inspiration, to show people what can be done.
