A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later Picture Quote #1

Hopefully people will take me more seriously as an actress. That’s what I really want to do, it’s my passion and it’s what I want to be considered to do. I just want to continue to do film, it’s what I love Picture Quote #1

Music is a big factor in helping the illusion of the film come to life. The same way music brings back different periods of our lives Picture Quote #1

For the film maker must come by his convention, as painters and writers and musicians have done before him Picture Quote #1

Whenever there’s a camera around, a video or film camera, it’s a great deal harder for those in power to bury the story Picture Quote #1
