I just write characters, and somehow they happen to be a boy and a girl. When the story is put together, and their characters interwoven, they do end up together somehow.

When you write a story, it just flows and you don't control it. It's subconscious.

The physical journey in my films is indicative of the internal journey that my characters take.

Usually, you lose interest in a story beyond a certain point. But with 'Highway,' there was something very subtle, yet something very influential. I intended 'Highway' to be the first film that I ever made. Didn't happen.

[It was certainly a story of girl meets boy at Chanel.] This story is all about what would happen if Coco Chanel met James Dean, ... Coco always borrowed from the boys. She took their jackets, and made them into uniforms for women.

And it was always the stories that needed the telling that gave us the rope we could cross any river with. They balanced us high above any crevasse. They made us be natural acrobats. They made us brave. They met us well. They changed us. It was in their nature to.
