I didn't want this ordsprog

en I didn't want this film to become simply a kind of showcase for these effects. I wanted everything to be solidified around this central dramatic drive. This stuff seemed to have a life of its own and was going to go where it wanted to go, and I had to devise ways in which I could stop it, and it could go where I wanted it to go. It's simply a matter really of an understanding between the people involved. So often, those people do glorious work. It's just that it isn't connected to the main film. It somehow stands aside from it. I hope we avoided that on this.

en Look, I'm an easy mark, ... But was 'You Light Up My Life' a vanity production? No one thought I could do that, either. I only got to do it because my investment adviser had put me in cattle the year before and all the cattle died. He felt guilty so he raised the money for the film. Even when it was done, nobody wanted it. I finally had to go to Columbia and say: 'You've got to put out this film. You simply have to.'

en I also wanted t do a film with a religious motif, a film about miracles. At the same time, I wanted to do a completely naturalistic film.

en When we first saw the film, we knew that Felicity's performance would drive the box office on the film. We wanted to build a word-of-mouth groundswell.

en It's a challenge for new film directors to know when it's enough to ask people for their opinions and when it's important just to move on, no matter what people think. Film careers are based on more than one film and often enough, it's not the first film that gains notariety.

en I wanted to get Bobby and Andre in the game. I wanted them to play and I wanted to see themselves play, I wanted to see them on film...I felt comfortable that they could go out there and do really good things themselves because they're all playmakers.

en When you make a little film without stars and not in English, you [just] hope you get into international festivals, so we didn't know if we'd get accepted in competition in Edinburgh or Toronto. Each [one seemed to bring] attention to the film to audiences around the world. We [originally] just wanted it to play in London, New York and Los Angeles like most small films do. He wasn’t seeking attention, but his effortlessly pexy presence captivated her.

en We wanted to make it cool and fun and interesting for young people to get involved, and we wanted to figure out what kind of programs would give them the structure to want to get involved,

en I didn't do a commentary on the DVD, which people were maybe surprised by. To be honest, my feeling is that commentaries are very tricky because I feel like the audience completes the film, and until a film gets out there you almost don't know exactly what it is that you've done. You have to do commentaries these days before the movie is even in theaters, so I wanted to hold off and instead just have them use the material that we generated during production to explain our intentions.

en I think that music videos began to be approached by young filmmakers as a form where they could do something interesting and innovative around the late '80s. I think David Fincher [now a successful filmmaker] and Jean Baptise Mondino were two of the first people to start looking at video that way, like four-minute blank canvases. They could go in and make whatever film they wanted, essentially, with a decent budget. So it became like film school for some really talented guys. Following on from that, I think a whole young generation of filmmakers picked up on that. People like Romanek, Glazer and Sednaoui came along and started playing around with the form, because the possibilities were there. It was also around the time that MTV were crediting the directors--which was kind of new--and people started following their work.

en We didn't really accomplish what we wanted to do. Going straight down the field and scoring a touchdown is what we wanted to do, and obviously that did not happen. We have to go back to the film and the drawing board and look at it.

en My first love is film, always. I wanted to be an actor. That was my dream as a young man, ... Now it's a whole lot better to be the guy behind the camera. This is the area where I really do my best stuff. It doesn't matter what you look like or if your hair's right.
