Having a movie that lasts and makes your image imprinted into the history of cinema, it's very positive.

I don't want to knock photography, and I don't feel that film is up there but photography isn't. I think they're next to each other really, you know. There's an incredible strength to a still picture. Or there can be an incredible strength to a still picture that can outlive you. That can outlive a film.

I think making a good film shot is joyful.

I am happy with all the films I've done. I have not become the victim of an image. I have managed to do different roles, and I am proud of that.

Hollywood is still the mecca for good or bad, but it isn't the beginning or end for filmmaking.

People who are good at film have a relationship with the camera.

At some level, I feel it is nice to know that a film of yours is doing well at the box office and has also got great reviews. That feels like success.

I think bad movies are made around the world, not just in Hollywood. There are as many bad art films in the whole world as there are bad commercial films.

All my films are shot on hand-held cameras. These cameras took five years to build and had to be light enough to be carried.
