No matter how fast I could do it with the digital camera I don't think I would get the same thing out of it. The passion I have for formulating an idea stands alone. It is the important essence of what I do.
My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, for the camera's eye may entirely change my idea.
When Stark isn't off sulking somewhere, or whatever he's doing when he won't return my calls, I alternate between the two. That usually works well, though occasionally an idea for the wrong guy drifts through my mind.
I mean I think children love the idea that there are different viewpoints and different words for things and different worlds. And the more that they pretend to be other people, the harder it is for them to hate them and misunderstand them when they grow up.
Film is a very, very powerful medium. It can either confirm the idea that things are wonderful the way they are, or it can reinforce the conception that things can be changed.
Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes.
On the contrary a film can promote the idea of change without any political message whatsoever but in its form and language can tell people that they can change their lives and contribute to progressive changes in the world.
When people start writing there is this idea that you have to get everything right first time, every sentence has to be perfect, every paragraph has to be perfect, every chapter has to be perfect, but what you're doing is not any kind of public show, until you're ready for it.
The idea of democracy has been stripped of it moral imperatives and come to denote hollowness and hypocrisy.
I passionately hate the idea of being with it; I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
I just had an idea that went right over my head.
Opposing the free flow of goods or people is a bad idea.
In general, shorter is better. If you can encapsulate your idea into a single captivating sentence, you're halfway home.
Nothing can have as its destination anything other than its origin. The contrary idea, the idea of progress, is poison.
I am not a Catholic; but I consider the Christian idea, which has its roots in Greek thought and in the course of the centuries has nourished all of our European civilization, as something that one cannot renounce without becoming degraded.
