Me, as a moviegoer, before being a filmmaker, I try to think about what movie I would like to see.
I try to make films, not movies. I've never liked the expression 'movie', but it sounds elitist to say that.
We've seen so many films now, that you have to be on par with the best films that have preceded you. You just can't make any movie and it will be good.
Those movies, Decline I and II and Suburbia, are dearly loved, but they never made any money. I didn't even have the rights for some of them.
Filmmaking is not about gender. You cannot ask a president in a festival like Cannes to have, like, five movies directed by women and five by men.
Can you imagine what it would be like if all the Aussie film talent was able to make Australian stories?
I'm sure I can make a movie that doesn't feel like a seventies movie! But the truth is, that's my favorite era in American filmmaking. To me, those were the great years.
I had pictured myself as a filmmaker but I had never pictured myself as a director if that makes any sense at all.
I may fall here in the Senate chamber, but I will. never make any compromise with any such men.
