Quotes

[the approach you have to take in movies]” ..... you always have to feel like it’s gonna be the greatest, even if it’s a ... you know... piece

of crap.”

“If you’ve ever had that feeling of loneliness, of being an outsider, it never quite leaves you. You can be happy or

successful or whatever, but that thing still stays within you.”

“All these kinds of stories, wether it be “The Wizard of Oz” or “Alice in Wonderland”, are an internal journey. I think that’s a fairly universal concept.

These characters represent things inside the human psyche. I think that’s what every child does. You try to work out problems as you go along. Sam thing as an

adult. Some people get therapy, some people get to make movies.”

Legacy/Influence

•Dark, sad themes

•Human emotion and truth

•Opened ideas of loneliness
