art images implies instead movies
Movies become art after editing. Instead of just reproducing reality, they juxtapose images of it. That implies expression; that's art.
interested less truth
I'm less interested in reality. I'm more interested in perception, the truth of the universe that we see.
fresh perspective point reflect side strength
When you have a fresh point of view that comes from the right side of the heart, it's just so valuable. You can take it or not take it, but just that perspective can give you a lot of strength or make you reflect on a lot of things.
alchemy dislikes entire exercise exposed human life likes matter nobody order people subject successful time
Actors are exposed in a way that nobody else can understand. They are subject to the likes and dislikes of people their entire life, no matter how successful they are. At the same time, in order to be liked, you have to not be yourself. So it's a very complicated human exercise - an alchemy that I have never understood.
borders flags
Cinema is universal, beyond flags and borders and passports.
bothering express liberating time
When you have something that is bothering you, and then you articulate, take the time to really express it and see it clearly, to recognize. To acknowledge that is already a liberating energy.
affected caves immediacy love saw scratch
The cavemen, when they saw the antelopes, they had to scratch them on to the caves because they needed to express the immediacy of what they were being affected by - and I love that. That is why I do what I do. I need to express myself.
bet emotional honest invest open protect touches
In a world where irony reigns, where you have to separate, protect and laugh at anything that is honest or has an emotional charge, I bet for catharsis. I like to invest emotionally in things. And catharsis, when it touches the emotional vein, can open the doors of even those who protect themselves.
question
To question your own process is a necessity. If you don't question yourself, it's impossible to improve.
call high higher might
I have a lot of what you might call creative self-loathing - I have pretty high expectations, and they seem to consistently be higher than what I'm able to accomplish.
accomplish challenge difficult good life
For me, the most important thing that I have to accomplish is to be a good father. That's the most difficult challenge of my life. That's the most important thing for me, more than films.
bit love satisfy
When we are looking for validation, that will never satisfy us. When we are looking for affection, for love, a little bit of that will be enough to be complete.
bubble built high incredible work
That incredible bubble and high expectations built at festivals can work against a film.
felt liberating playing
It was liberating to do comedy. It felt like playing in a jazz band.
