I'm very often still very much alive for that other being and that other world long after the film is finished.

I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not aware of it passing.

I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.

I love what I do.

I love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.

I hate the domestic life.

It didn't occur to me that it was possible to breathe life into Abraham Lincoln.
