people connections film
People like my films. They understand me through my films; it's like a connection that has been established between all my work and myself and the audience and the viewer.
stupid film made
I just didn't see films when I was young. I was stupid and naïve. Maybe I wouldn't have made films if I had seen lots of others; maybe it would have stopped me.
art film-critics cinema
The boundaries between contemporary art and cinema are so rigid. It's unbelievable. The film critics don't know my artwork and the art world doesn't know my films.
thinking people film
I think I got people confidence because I was not looking at them like insects that I would film.
littles watches film
I don't watch my own films. There is little time; I'd rather see another film.
beautiful film should
When I started I did not know I wanted to be a filmmaker. I started - I made a film. Then when I finished I said, Oh my god it's so beautiful - I should be a filmmaker!
body gleaning film
Gleaning is getting things that are abandoned. I did not abandon my early pictures, my photos, my early films. It's just going through my body of work as something I can pick from.
film made not-interested
I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.
movie forever cinema
I live in cinema. I feel I've lived here forever.
strong couple years
The story of a couple is always very fragile, especially over more than thirty years. People know it's not easy, and even though you have strong feeling and desire and endless love, it doesn't always happen.
thinking years long
I think I did fifteen long features and fifteen documentaries, or something like this, which is very little when you think of people making a film every year. Some people have done fifty or sixty films.
years ideas important
I waited for each film to become important for me. If I had no ideas for a film, I didn't do a film. So I made not that many films for fifty-four years of working.
book literature found
I have respect for literature. If he found the words, if she found the words - this is a book!
people way enjoy
It's a way of living, sharing things with people who work with me, and they seem to enjoy it.
