While the creative aspects of my filmmaking style are challenging in their own ways, I have developed such confidence and passion over the years that it has become much easier.

I definitely find the technical aspects of post-production generally quite overwhelming.

I want people to have a new way of looking at the world when they leave the theater.

I find that I always also manage to incorporate a simultaneous reflection on cinema history into my films.

Certainly my films are cinematically unusual, and quite contemplative in their pacing compared to conventional films, but I think overall they are quite engaging, accessible, and even funny.

I think the biggest misconception about experimental film in general is that it is always difficult and inaccessible.

My work is not for everyone, but I think if people give it a try, they may be surprised by how entertaining it is.

All nineteen-year-old males are children who are men capable of war.

Well at ease are the Sleepers for whom Existence is a shallow Dream.

Genius is always more suggestive than expressive.

I always look on the bright side of everything. If you keep aiming for some goal, you usually get there if you don't give up.

With three work days a week, we would have more time to relax; for quality of life.

Treat people like you want to be treated; live and let live; and also give the other person a break now and then.

If you try to break into my house, you will be severely lacerated and possibly electrocuted, and I'm fine with that. Because if you're breaking into my house, you're on your own.

People going into the cities for the opportunities and the towns are getting older, no young people.

The soul of music slumbers in the shell Till waked and kindled by the master's spell; And feeling hearts, touch them but rightly, pour A thousand melodies unheard before!
