The director’s task is to recreate life, its movement, its contradictions, its dynamic and conflicts.

mistake lying artist
It is a mistake to talk about the artist looking for his subject. In fact, the subject grows within him like a fruit and begins to demand expression. It is like childbirth.

Andrei Tarkovsky

I don't think that mistakes are that bad. I think that they should try and not do destructive things, but I don't think that a mistake is that serious a thing that one should be told what to do to avoid it. Anne Bancroft
