It's so easy to disappear into your character because there isn't all this fuss around you, and we keep a closed set, and closed off to all crew members, even, unless we're cut. a lot of times, you're doing a scene in a movie and there are literally 35 people standing behind the camera all waiting to do their job, but here they have to be off the stage. on the office, it is very much just the actors, a cameraman and a boom operator, like a real documentary, like we really are being documented.

When i move from being a cameraman to being a director i looked at a lot of other cameramen who tried to make the move. and in each case they moved up their camera operator to be the dp, which really meant they didn't want to give up being the dp, and really wanted to do both. and my feeling was if i was going to succeed as a director, i had to just be a director and give up the safety net of being a cameraman.

When you say documentary, you have to have a sophisticated ear to receive that word. it should be documentary style, because documentary is police photography of a scene and a murder ... that's a real document. you see, art is really useless, and a document has use. and therefore, art is never a document, but it can adopt that style. i do it. i'm called a documentary photographer. but that presupposes a quite subtle knowledge of this distinction.

Once committed to fight, cut. everything else is secondary. cut. that is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. there is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. cut. cut from the void, not from bewilderment. cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. cut decisively, resolutely. cut into the enemy’s strength. flow through the gaps in his guard. cut him. cut him down utterly. don’t allow him a breath. crush him. cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit." -richard rahl

If i had more recreation time i would be able to step back and reflect on how life has changed. but it has been like a constant... boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

If you're a great documentary filmmaker, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're a great narrative filmmaker. there are fantastic documentary filmmakers that can't direct actors. you don't have to do that in a documentary, if it's a real documentary.

Names and theoretical things don't occur to me. if they do, i'm not doing my real playing mode.

A distinction must be made between that writing which enables us to hold on to life even as we are clinging to old hurts and wounds and that writing which offers to us a space where we are able to confront reality in such a way that we live more fully. such writing is not an anchor that we mistakenly cling to so as not to drown. it is writing that truly rescues, that enables us to reach the shore, to recover.

I think once a person realizes that they are every day either sowing into their life either potential success, or sowing into their life potential failure, they would all of a sudden go okay, i've got to figure out what i'm going to do.
