When I see 'Sunshine,' I see a film that part of me is kind of very proud of and another part of me is very sad about, so it's a really complicated film for me. And I've never been really able to resolve all that in myself.

I've directed 'Raisin in the Sun' five times. You keep discovering things. You keep on seeing things in the script that you never saw before. That's what great pieces of art do.

Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.

Sunshine is a welcome thing. It brings a lot of brightness.

Technically, maybe I learned most of all from George Stevens, and among his movies I learned the most from 'A Place in the Sun.' It's a lesson in moviemaking.

I learned a valuable lesson doing 'Mr. Sunshine,' which is that I didn't want to be in charge because it's too much. Being in charge and acting in every scene was just too difficult. It's like eating dinner in a moving golf cart every night.

I thought 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' was so interesting the way it was made and the texture of it.

Film for me became how I related to everything else.

Film has the potential of allowing me to explore my own ideas, which I find very attractive.

Writing and directing your own film, for me, has been the best experience of my life.
