Looking at the paintings of the artists I love — such as Bosch or Vermeer — has had an influence on the way I see the world and so on the way I write. Often I want a kind of Vermeer light — that transcendency — and a Boschian “noise.” That savagery. That clarity. That delicacy.

“The history of cinema consists precisely of every film that has ever been made, for any purpose whatsoever. The metahistorian of cinema, on the other hand, is occupied with inventing a tradition, that is, a coherent, wieldy set of discrete monuments, meant to inseminate resonant consistency into the growing body of his art. Such works may not exist, and then it is his duty to make them.”
