If anyone tells you there is only one way, their way, get as far away from them as possible, both physically and philosophically.

I like to rehearse with the actors scenes that are not in the script and will not be in the film because what we're really doing is trying to establish their character, and good acting to me is about reacting.

Image
I wanted to make an Indian character who wasn't either a) the savage that must be eliminated, the force of nature that's blocking the way for industrial progress, or b) the noble innocent that knows all and is another cliche. I wanted him to be a complicated human being.

I started working with friends of mine and that, to some degree, continues.

In Hollywood Westerns even in the Thirties and Forties, history was mythologized to accommodate some kind of moral code. And what really affects me deeply is when you see it taken to the extent where Native Americans become mythical people.

I thought The Limits of Control could be interpreted in two ways: as the limits of one's self-control and as the limits of allowing other people's control over one's - consciousness - which I kind of thought was a double meaning that was appropriate.

The New York School poets are my godfathers creatively.

Baseball is one of the most beautiful games. It is. It is a very Zen-like game.

Jim Jarmusch: Poets are always ahead of things in a certain way, their sense of language and their vision.

I still consider myself to be an amateur filmmaker. And I say that because in the Latin origin of the word amateur is the word love, and it's love of a form, whereas professional implies something you do for money or for work.

You are the accumulations of your experiences at any given point. And when you express something those things come out. The thing is I hate seeing my films when I'm done with them, so I don't look back as a chart of my life, but I leave it as a kind of chart. Though, it is a photograph, captured.

A lot of innovation in language comes from poetry.

Music just gives me so much energy and inspiration. Music and literature in a way probably influence me more than cinema does because they're different forms and yet related. I probably know as much about music history as I do about the history of cinema.

I'm not putting down anyone that does look at their work in that way, but for me I am a hardcore amateur.

I like marginal characters, I like real people. I learn more from talking to my plumber when he comes to fix my toilet than I do from meeting a movie star. I think my movies are in the same vein as that.

I have to tell everyone that when I finish a film and it goes out and is released, I never look at my films again. I don't like looking back. I don't even like talking about 'em! So I'm really digging back in my memory because I don't like to sit and look at my films again.

I think you can only be nostalgic for something you've lost.
