I like movies that leave you with something to think about, to discuss, to debate, you know?

I generally try to avoid talking about my old films - I find it difficult.

I think at the point when they were first starting to talk about a movie, it was a little bit different back then.

I love talking about movies that mean something to me.

I can't talk about every single film I made. It's not my way to go back into the past and to look at my old pictures and to discuss them.

I don't see that many movies lately that are actually about something, that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.

I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.

I mean, I've been in a hundred and fifty films; I don't want to just sit around and talk about things.

In my little imperfect way, what I'm trying to do is understand the world. As a filmmaker, you realize as you get older that each film is part of a dialogue you're having with yourself. That started when I was working in documentaries. And in a way, I've never deviated from it.

When you go to a movie, it's about what's not being said. I tried to bring that to Greg Sumner. It was always about what's not being said.
