I think I have made just one picture that I really like, and that is Winter Light. That is my only picture about which I feel that I have started here and ended there and that everything along the way … Continue reading In Their Words — Thursday, March 28, 2013

Movies are my religion and God is my patron. I’m lucky enough to be in the position where I don’t make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; … Continue reading In Their Words — Wednesday, March 27, 2013
