I do other sorts of things. I act in other people's movies. I direct operas. I write books.

I write novels and other things.

I write, but I also act.

One of the reasons I write is to be in other people's skin.

I love my movies as they are. I let them develop their own lives.

If you truly love film, I think the healthiest thing to do is not read books on the subject. I prefer the glossy film magazines with their big color photos and gossip columns, or the National Enquirer. Such vulgarity is healthy and safe.
