Even when you're making a movie about life, death is a presence, and I guess it's part of my dramatic viewpoint. I'm not sure why exactly. Maybe I'm drawn to it as a story element.

Even when you're making a movie about life, death is a presence, and I guess it's part of my dramatic viewpoint. I'm not sure why exactly.
When I'm writing about reality, I'm writing about death. When I'm writing fiction, I'm writing about life.
Death is an absolute mystery. We are all vulnerable to it, it's what makes life interesting and suspenseful.
Death is either an incredible ending to a story or, more often than not if you ask the right questions, it's the beginning of a story.
It is only in the light of the inescapable fact of death that a person can adequately engage and enter upon the mysterious fact of life.
The subject of death is taboo. We feel, perhaps only subconsciously, that to be in contact with death in any way, even indirectly, somehow confronts us with the prospect of our own deaths, draws our own deaths closer and makes them more real and thinkable.
We see death constantly on film.
No doubt many people have the feeling that to talk about death at all is, in effect, to conjure it up mentally, to bring it closer in such a way that one has to face up to the inevitability of one's own eventual demise. So, to spare ourselves this psychological trauma, we decide just to try to avoid the topic as much as possible.
There is no such thing as death; life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Death is very mysterious to us. One moment someone is there with us, and the next moment they're not.
