What is the quality of your intent?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People ask what are my intentions with my films - my aims. It is a difficult and dangerous question, and I usually give an evasive answer: I try to tell the truth about the human condition, the truth as I see it. This answer seems to satisfy everyone, but it is not quite correct.
Probably my worst quality is that I get very passionate about what I think is right.
It's better to do your purpose imperfectly than to do someone else's purpose perfectly.
If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.
I am not here concerned with intent, but with scientific standards, especially the ability to tell the difference between a fact, an opinion, a hypothesis, and a hole in the ground.
My measure of success is whether I'm fulfilling my mission.
Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.
I try to just communicate what I want done as clearly and simply as possible.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
One thing I've learned: My intentions are clear in terms of quality.
