I would say that 'After the Storm' is much more informed by my personal life than my other movies.
It's always interesting to me to see people projecting things, like people would say, "This record is much more mature than your other record" and I would think, "Well, this record has more songs from when I was 18 on it than the other one."
He had read much, if one considers his long life; but his contemplation was much more than his reading. He was wont to say that if he had read as much as other men he should have known no more than other men.
Just as a flood-lighted temple is more beautiful in a severe storm or in a heavy fog, so the gospel of Jesus Christ is more glorious in times of inward storm and of personal sorrow and tormenting conflict.
There are movies that require fantasy and slightly more fantastical acting. Lines that are good for certain movies, in real life circumstances, would be absolutely unbelievable things to really say, and you would look at these people like they're freaks for conversing that way. But somehow for certain styles of movies, it works, and it seems fine.
I first went to Barcelona in 1975 after university, and I stayed for three years. I learnt Catalan because that's what everyone speaks in the mountains. They speak English to foreigners, but what people say to each other is much more important than what they say to you.
I'll do things that maybe other people would be afraid to do or afraid to say. But in my personal life, I'm actually very responsible with my personal relationships.
I think it's more normal to make a movie dealing with love, sexual or not, than to make movies about bank robberies, which very rarely happen in real life. So I would say the problem is not what some people feel is normal, I would say the problem is why this whole industry is far more obsessed with filming scenes of dominance, guns, invasion.
I used to consume a lot of horror movies as a teenager, and some impressed me more than other ones. I would watch Romero's movies, Dario Argento's movies, 'Eraserhead' over and over. 'Possession,' 'Repulsion,' 'Freaks.'
I've had the good fortune to have a much more diverse life than most people would, professional sports and television and news and movies.
I would not live alway; I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way.
In growing up, I was a child of the movies. I went to the movies every given opportunity, and that's pretty much what has informed a lot of my choices.
Running has made my life worthwhile. I used to be more dead than alive after the personal tragedy in my life.
Millennials are much more informed than they get credit for, and many are more politically knowledgeable than older generations.
There's so much that goes into a film that I feel like it's a bit arrogant to say, 'Oh, I never watch my own movies.' Well, it's not just you. There's a whole host of other people. So much skill goes into it. But I would say it does take a couple times seeing it to get a level of perspective.
Having a life outside of movies is like pure oxygen. It makes the work more precious and informed.
I was raised in an Orthodox Jewish household and I wouldn't say so much it's informed my views, but it's informed my interest, so I think as a child I was often very baffled by knowledge claims.
