“When you’re young, you’re very receptive to all the stuff you see, the emotions. And then you try all the time to match up with those sensations. So in this sense it may have changed my life because I’m always trying to re-create this feeling of watching this movie.”

“That movie is ridiculously slow paced, glacially paced, but to me, maybe it was because I had spent the last two months hitchhiking around, I was in a place where I was used to a long period of silence, especially having spent a lot of time on the road. It somehow made sense to me, at the time.”

“There’s something very alive about this film. What it’s about and the degree to which the filmmaker courageously put herself into a situation that she was not from. You don’t have to have known her history to know that she was an outsider. She had the courage to go into a situation, spend the time there, and really try to understand it.”

“I’m really interested in the psychological and the authentic portrayal of violence—particularly violence that comes out of emotions. Before The Godfather, I don’t know that you could have such a violent psychological film that was that broadly entertaining.”
