I'm self-taught. Even today, on the sets, I probe the lightmen, the stunt artistes... they are from a period I've not seen; I can visualise it through them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every day on set, there was something to watch and learn.
The reason my kids come to the set is so I can actually see them.
I'm the kind of person who visualizes things before doing them.
I was one of those kids who took apart their toys to see how they work, just to see what they were made up of.
It's through working with a lot of first-time directors that I realized that people learn on their feet. Everybody works on something for a different reason. Everybody has got something new to learn on these sets, and you don't have to know everything, the second you start.
Once I've taken photographs, I look at them, and I get into them, and I'm there for the moment - and then that's it. I find little time for reflection.
Every movie I make teaches me something. That's why I keep making them.
I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.
I had been teaching myself photography.
I've been taking art lessons since I was little, and I've always drawn. I think in pictures.
