In the moment of making films, I want to share my observations of life, not of other films.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm much more interested in living specific experiences in films.
I like to do a lot of research for my films and live my character.
My films are completely new. I am not similar to anybody in the history of movies.
My films are always a reflection of where I am in my life.
I don't know anything about life, but everything about cinema.
I categorically resist this idea that films are supposed to be autobiographical and the only stories you tell are about your own life.
People always seem to see echoes of their own lives in my films.
I'm interested in directing movies about situations that I've lived, so they are almost a personal essay about what I've come to believe in.
I look back at my filmography, and I'm pretty jazzed with the stuff I've been part of. They're all movies I'd like to see.
I want to make films without a single clear message, and films that are as close as possible to what it feels like to be alive. At least to me.
