Theres been a slow death in a way. On the positive side, there are films getting into the Academy Awards that wouldnt have, but on the negative side, financiers are now dominant and making all the decisions. I cant count the ways a directors vision is compromised. – Lili Taylor
I turned 54 this year and I find myself feeling like Im in a bit of a race to get down on paper the way I really feel about life – or the way it has presented to me. And because it has presented to me very beautifully, this is hard. It is technically very hard to show positive manifestations. – George Saunders
