Sometimes, The People Who Are Helping You

I'd Come Into Filmmaking As A Painter So, For Me, Making 'good Will Hunting' Was Experimental Because I Didn't Know How To Do It.

Yeah, Kubrick's A Big Influence. In Something Like 'a Clockwork Orange,' He Is Trying To Use The Practical Light - I Mean, At Least He Says That In His Interviews, Like They're Not Using Traditionally Hollywood Lights. In 'elephant' We Basically Used No Lights; We Never Really Adjusted.

The Artist Himself Is Actually The Subject In Everything After, Say, 1900. Eventually, Art Becomes So Removed From The Community That You Have To Know About The Artist Before You Can Even Look At The Painting, Because There Is A Conceptual Idea Going On.

Casting The Locals Is My Primary Concern Because All The Other Things You Assume Will Be Manageable.

If It Were Up To The Executives, They Probably Wouldn't Have Directors At All.
