Knowledge is death in my experience. The more I know about film, the harder it is to create freely.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I go out to direct a film, every day we prepare too much, we think too much. Knowledge becomes a weight upon wisdom. You know, simple words lost in the quicksand of experience.
Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.
Well, I think that a lot of times when you're working on a film, there aren't really opportunities to get to know all the people you have to work with.
Knowledge is the life of the mind.
I feel like I'm still learning a lot. I think there's a tendency for people who are just doing their first couple of films that I see now where they seem to be really resentful of the technical limitations that come along with filmmaking.
Anyone who's made film and knows about the cinema has a lifelong love affair with the experience. You never stop learning about film.
Film, for me, has been a process of learning on the job.
Every time I make a film, I feel it gives me the chance to learn something new.
We all learn every day, and that's the magic about film making.
Learning to make films is very easy. Learning what to make films about is very hard.
