Sometimes The Failures Can Be Exciting And

I Think Hollywood... Well, There Is No Hollywood Anymore So Let's Just Call It The Mainstream Since The Business Is No Longer Hollywood Producing Its Own Films And Then Distributing, They Just Distribute.

All Of The Films That I've Made Are About The Country I Live In And Grew Up In... And I Think If You're Going To Put An Artist's Eye To It, You're Going To Put A Critical Eye To It. I've Always Been Interested In The Gray Area That Exists Between The Black And White, Or The Red And Blue, And That's Where Complexity Lies.

The Country Is So Wounded, Bleeding, And Hurt Right Now. The Country Needs To Be Healed-it's Not Going To Be Healed From The Top, Politically. How Are We Going To Heal? Art Is The Healing Force.

It's An Honor Putting Art Above Politics. Politics Can Be Seductive In Terms Of Things Reductive To The Soul.

I Didn't Think About Politics Until I Came To Europe.
