I think people should digest work, not encounter it. You need to bring it in. You need to eat it.

Faith is something, of course, that exists because you don't need evidence for it by faith itself.

Black folks aren't asked to make films about all white people. But what would have happened if we did? What would white culture look like to them if we were doing that?

Micro-looking processes that are human are what I was interested in. How can you use the camera to mime the way that we look? The way we look has almost been bastardized by film and photography.

Given the time-based relationship to making a movie, it's often not efficient to spend copious amounts of time filming and waiting for meaning and other things to emerge naturally without pursuing them.

I sort of have a rigid sensibility. I know what I want.
