But I'm not attached to it in the sense that I feel a responsibility now to be consistent with my past work. But you do love making movies. What I love about making movies is the chance to exercise a part of my imagination and my powers in a way that I can't as a writer. A visual sense, a structural sense, a musical sense. The pleasure of working with people.
Writing is a very solitary occupation.
But earlier you complained that although you decide everything, you can't execute everything. Filmmaking is an entirely separate career. I'm not interested in films as a writer, but as a director and an editor. As it happens, I have written the scripts for both of my films, but that's not the side of filmmaking that interests me. Film directing is film directing.
