That's why I say my film is a film and could never have been a novel. I never found that language could do all I wanted it to do. I always found language a somewhat resistant medium. I feel more at home in films. It's the sequence and rhythm of images that's important.
Language is secondary.
I hope to go on writing fiction and making films. She is now writing her third novel. Possibly I will have to make some kind of choice. A number of writers gave up writing to be directors. The film thing is tremendously seductive.
