I don't want to be a film-maker. I think painting is far more exciting and profound.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Directing is really exciting. In the end, it's more fun to be the painter than the paint.
Painting is a coalescing of experience.
I love film - it's like painting.
I love painting. I went to college in fine arts, and I still do it all the time.
I've always loved painting and drawing. I wish I'd developed it more and exhibited.
See, a painting is much cheaper than making a film. And photography is, you know, way cheap. So if I get an idea for a film, there are many ways to get it together and go realise that film. There's really nothing to be afraid of.
Photography is about finding things. And painting is different - it's about making something.
I love filmmaking, and I love the process. And I would rather do nothing else. It's a privilege to be able to paint such big pictures, so to speak.
I feel like I became an artist by default. I went to art college, but my interest was always more towards film than painting or sculpture.
Whereas painting is a more rarefied art form, with a limited audience, I recognized film as this extraordinary social tool that could reach tremendous numbers of people.
