When you see
the films of certain young directors, you get the impression that Film History
begins for them around 1980.

Their films
would probably be better if they'd seen a few more films, which runs counter to
this idiotic theory that you run the risk of being influenced
if you see too much. Actually, it's when you see
too little that you run the risk of being influenced. [Mnemotechnique, JamesEllroy
as a moron who thinks he knows everything.]

If you see a
lot, you can choose the films you want to be influenced by.

Sometimes the
choice is not conscious, but there are some things in
life that are far more powerful than we are, and that affect us profoundly.

If I'm
influenced by Hitchcock, Rossellini, or Renoir without realizing it, so much the
better.

If I do
something sub-Hitchcock, I'm already very happy.

Cocteau used
to say: "Imitate, and what is personal will eventually come despite
yourself." You can always try.
