Deutsche Übersetzung

Erinnern Sie sich an Graham Green's Diktum, dass Kindheit das Bankguthaben des Schriftstellers ist? Ich denke, dass sich alle Autoren entfremdet fühlen. Die meisten von uns gehen auf eine oder andere Weise in eine entfremdete Kindheit zurück. Ich weiß, dass ich es tue.

I think I have enough of a sense to know what works for me and what doesn't, without going into some big thing and analyzing what I do. I'm in a position that allows me to do what I want to do, and I do it.

I'm not sure I agree with the thesis, because I think that even though something grotesque or gross has been part of film since way back, what we accept or what we can get away with on the screen is broader now.

Not all my work features black actors. I mean, it's funny: someone was reading back to me all the languages that have appeared in my films, whether they were shorts or features. They span Arabic, French, Mandarin, Cantonese - all kinds of languages. I think it's really cool.
