Pastoral Resources

It was not possible to film in California, because all the areas are heavily built up now. Coming to Cape Town is an invitation to step into the past and recreate Los Angeles of the 1930s.

I think that those are the things that you can uniquely do with film that are difficult to do anywhere else: they can bring a picture to life, give it a natural and historical context and make you feel that everything else is suddenly credible.

When you grow up on film, people sometimes have difficulties accepting the fact that you are growing up. They always imagine you younger.

I want to do feature films. I am flying to Malaysia to be in another feature film. We will be filming that in Malaysia, the Phillipines, and back in California.

I'm having a vacation, and it's so beautiful, and maybe I'll never get another film idea in my life.

When I was in film school, it was said that all good films were characterised by some form of humour.

I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology.

In the film, I'm not very mobile, like in the space suit.

I went to see the film with a regular audience for the first time on Sunday, and was basically swamped.

Editing is a natural extension of the collage making. It's actually one of the few areas that women were able to excel in in the film industry from the beginning.

Even befor doing this film, I've always been interested in mythology.

Which is why I felt I was truly blessed this year, with leads in two nice films, and also the luxury of being able to do a studio film and an independent afterwards was fantastic.

Film lovers are sick people.

The film of tomorrow appears to me as even more personal than an individual and autobiographical novel, like a confession, or a diary.

The film of tomorrow will be an act of love.

The film of tomorrow will not be directed by civil servants of the camera, but by artists for whom shooting a film constitutes a wonderful and thrilling adventure.

The film of tomorrow will resemble the person who made it, and the number of spectators will be proportional to the number of friends the director has.

There were IBM logos designed for the film, and there were IBM design consultants working with Kubrick on the layout of the controls and computer screens.

IBM was the original contractor for much of the computer interface design on the film.
