I Spend A Lot Of Time Doing

I Don't Generally Derive My Stories From Novels. I Try To Turn Into Film Things I Have Felt Or Experienced.

I Thought That Choosing A Non-professional Was A Condition For Me, Because It Would Allow Juliette To Have A Less-professional Way Of Acting. It Would Challenge Her Performance As A Professional Actress.

My Car's My Best Friend. My Office. My Home. My Location. I Have A Very Intimate Sense When I Am In A Car With Someone Next To Me. We're In The Most Comfortable Seats Because We're Not Facing Each Other, But Sitting Side By Side. We Don't Look At Each Other, But Instead Do So Only When We Want To. We're Allowed To Look Around Without Appearing Rude. We Have A Big Screen In Front Of Us And Side Views. Silence Doesn't Seem Heavy Or Difficult. Nobody Serves Anybody. And Many Other Aspects. One Most Important Thing Is That It Transports Us From One Place To Another.

I Wasn't Searching For A Common Denominator - I Started Wondering About The Challenge Of Working In Other Cultures. What I Reached Was The Sudden Acknowledgment Of The Universal Aspect Of Filmmaking.
