Anybody who’s working in pictures, I don’t care whether you say it out loud or not, wants to be a director. The actors all think, ‘When I’m washed up in this, I can be a director.’ The writer says, ‘If I write a good script, I’ll direct it myself.’
“Sometimes, everything becomes clear at once: words, images, sounds. Other times they materialize separately. I find my way, like a painter finding his painting.”
