I film normal-life subjects in natural settings that some people would consider uncinematic. But what I want to show is nature itself, as the truth of life.

In the moment of making films, I want to share my observations of life, not of other films.
Natural science, does not simply describe and explain nature; it is part of the interplay between nature and ourselves.
Naturalism teaches one of the most important things in this world. There is only this life, so live wonderfully and meaningfully.
A true nature is a gloomy monolith, sort of like that old black rotary phone that I had to sing 'Happy Birthday' to Grandpa on. But novelists, damn us, still need true natures - so we can give them to our protagonists. And so readers can vaguely predict how they'll behave when we trap them in 'situations' that they can't IM their way out of.
Our science fails to recognize those special properties of life that make it fundamental to material reality.

What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.
I never use nature as a starting point. I never abstract from nature; I never consciously think of nature when I paint.
Be truthful, nature only sides with truth.
Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.
Our idea of nature is increasingly being determined by scientific developments. And they have become decisive for our image of reality.
