A refusal of nature as a model is a tradition that goes right back to Oscar Wilde Picture Quote #1

I’m drawn to female characters; not all of them are strong characters Picture Quote #1

Like the music and the period, I wanted ‘I’m Not There’ to be fun and full of emotions, desires and experiments that were thrilling and dangerous Picture Quote #1

I love how ‘melodrama’ is a denigrated term - a lower-class citizen to other genres. And yet that’s what life is, man Picture Quote #1

We’re the end of the baby boomers, and we participated in many social changes. Who would of thought, for example, when the AIDS epidemic came along that so many would die, because it was gay people dying. And what emerged was a grassroots movement that developed, and succeeded in getting things done. The pinpointing of that movement evolved into the changes that we have today Picture Quote #1

There are always things I have to remove. I might look at a shot for five months, when somebody new to the screening room will say, ‘hey, there’s a modern air conditioner in that window.’ It’s a process Picture Quote #1

I’m drawn to female characters, not all of them are strong characters. I think I’m drawn to female characters partly because they don’t have as easy or as obvious a relationship to power in society, and so they suffer under social constraints or have to maneuver within them in ways men sometimes don’t, or are unconscious about, or have certain liberties that are invisible to them Picture Quote #1

I’m a great admirer, fan and consumer of television. I love serial drama. I have been a major fan of HBO’s series for many years Picture Quote #1

I think by around the time I was about 8 or 9, the idea of filmmaking probably took hold. I made little Super 8 extravaganzas when I was a kid, the first being my own version of ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ and where I played all the parts except for Juliet Picture Quote #1

Pop music can get inside us and enter our memory bubbles. It provides those true Proustian moments, unlocking sensations, unlocking our imaginations. Music inspired me as a filmmaker Picture Quote #1

In my research, all roads led back to Oscar. It’s definitely in a way trying to understand the truly English element to glam-rock. It really does not come from American culture Picture Quote #1

The Johnny Depp generation has this kind of brooding, weighty, introspective quality, very James Deanish. Which is nice, great for a lot of characters Picture Quote #1

I think that’s what I love about glam-rock. It invited you to participate. It asked you to change yourself in all these different ways, or offered up all these options Picture Quote #1

I have always had an interest in performers who play against the most obvious of expectations and are able to find something secret, something withheld, and some level of restraint Picture Quote #1

I figured I would be teaching my whole life and making experimental films on the side Picture Quote #1

I was about 6 or 7, I would have said I wanted to be an actor and an artist. And that just kind of kept honing itself around film and getting closer to film Picture Quote #1

Music and film are parallel experiences: they are linear, they are narrative Picture Quote #1

You always feel like rock critics are frustrated musicians. I envy musicians their ability to live their art and share it with an audience, in the moment Picture Quote #1

I liked to act in plays when I was a kid, and then in college. But that’s the last time I really acted. I always loved it. But my interests were more in looking at the whole, rather than getting completely swallowed up in a single part of the whole Picture Quote #1
