At first, I wasn't sure whether I'd be a critic or a filmmaker, but I knew it would be something like that.

I'm not making films for critics, I'm making films for people to go out and enjoy.

As an artist, all I want is to be a part of good films.

I still think like a critic, and I still analyze films like a critic. However, it's not possible to write criticism if you're making films.

I don't think of myself as a critic at all. I'm a reviewer and essayist. I mainly hope to share with others my pleasure in the books and authors I write about, though sometimes I do need to cavil and point out shortcomings.

I would love to produce a film.

Somehow, the whole idea of me writing art reviews was just too much of a complicated thought, but I liked art, and later on I just realized that it would be perhaps a pleasure, and so I decided to do it for 'Art in America' - a lot.

I would love to do an indie film, as I've grown to have a more serious side.

I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.
