song ideas blue
Music has fed me a lot of ideas... The film BLUE VELVET came out of Bobby Vinton's version of the song BLUE VELVET.
photography ideas together
See, a painting is much cheaper than making a film. And photography is, you know, way cheap. So if I get an idea for a film, there are many ways to get it together and go realise that film. There's really nothing to be afraid of.
animal thinking artist
I quit smoking in December. I’m really depressed about it. I love smoking, I love fire, I miss lighting cigarettes. I like the whole thing about it, to me it turns into the artist’s life, and now people like Bloomberg have made animals out of smokers, and they think that if they stop smoking everyone will live forever.
coffee dark thinking
There's a safety in thinking in a diner. You can have your coffee or your milkshake, and you can go off into strange dark areas, and always come back to the safety of the diner.
pain creativity thinking
I don't think it was pain that made [Vincent Van Gogh] great - I think his painting brought him whatever happiness he had.
mean different uncomfortable
It makes me uncomfortable to talk about meanings and things. It's better not to know so much about what things mean. Because the meaning, it's a very personal thing, and the meaning for me is different than the meaning for somebody else.
absurdity concepts
The concept of absurdity is something I'm attracted to.
beautiful littles red
I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath.
orderly
I like things to be orderly.
photography cinema different
Every viewer is going to get a different thing. That's the thing about painting, photography, cinema.
falling-in-love ideas cinema
Sometimes I get an idea for cinema. And when you get an idea that you fall in love with, this is a glorious day.
thinking ideas philadelphia
I just have to think of Philadelphia now, and I get ideas, I hear the wind, and I'm off into the darkness somewhere.
ideas needs scripts
To make the script, you need ideas, and for me a lot of times, a final script is made up of many fragments of ideas that came at different times.
talking actors moments
Somewhere in talking and rehearsing, there is a magical moment where actors catch a current, they're on the right road. If they really catch it, then whatever they do from then on is correct and it all comes out of them from that point on.
