Hollywood isn’t exactly dragging me, or even aware of me Picture Quote #1

I’ve never made movies to reach millions of people Picture Quote #1

I was too lazy to read, and I was even too lazy to imagine scenarios drawn up by the pictures. They just suggested a flavor to me. I swallowed them whole, like hosts. It was a form of worship Picture Quote #1

Making the ballet really taught me how to get things moving. Ballet dancers don’t stand still Picture Quote #1

Those are my goals, you know. To be smart, tasteless, and feeling. Something to shoot for Picture Quote #1

I’m starting to frighten myself, because I’m backsliding into my devil-may-care attitude. I’m sure it’s going to catch up with me Picture Quote #1

I am no longer haunted by my dead father. I am no longer haunted by childhood home. There’s so many things I’ve cured myself of without realising and now when I’m embark on a project I know I’m going to cure myself of it Picture Quote #1

Older recordings just seemed to take me somewhere into my own pre-history. That’s always been an interesting, sort of sphinx-like territory for me to wander around in Picture Quote #1

I love melodrama. I love the simple fact. When you read Euripides he’s a page turner. It’s like reading a Mexican comic book romance Picture Quote #1

I feel the need to chastise myself. A movie that’s a partial musical, full-on melodrama, should require a tremendous amount of planning Picture Quote #1

I’m starting to frighten myself, because I’m backsliding into my devil-may-care attitude. I’m sure it’s going to catch up with me Picture Quote #1

I literally designed and built the sets myself, and I kind of liked it. I always gave myself eight weeks to do that - sometimes even 10 - and the shooting took five or six weeks Picture Quote #1

I guess to the outside observer, all my movies look like musty old black-and-white artifacts, but my earlier movies had been more static and tableaux-ish Picture Quote #1

It feels good to finally stand on top of vanquished sloth, and actually impress some people as a hard worker Picture Quote #1

I’ve been so lazy all my life. I used to literally lie on the couch, up until the age of 35, fearing that my bones were dissolving like sugar cubes, from disuse Picture Quote #1

I was completely broke, so I started saying yes to everything. I said yes to a woman who approached me about shooting the Dracula ballet, even though I felt like I was probably going to sabotage it Picture Quote #1

Shredded feelings are the fuel that feed the machinery of melodrama. And good melodrama just has honest feelings and is honest about the way people interact Picture Quote #1
