“I hate to write and spend months just waiting for the film to get financed. Then when you start preparing the film and you shoot it, you've already forgotten why you wanted to make the film in the first place. I like to have some kind of coherent energy that takes you through writing, preparing, shooting.” WritingFirstsKindWantedFilmHateEnergyWaitingMonthsI HateForgottenShootingPreparing Author:Olivier Assayas
“When I make films I'm very intuitive; I'm instinctive. When you are shooting there's little time to think about abstract ideas, it's about getting things done, getting them right, and trying to channel the energies and get the best of whatever you have on your set. It's only once the film is finished that it's like, "Okay, let's try to figure out what happened." Try to figure out exactly what I did.” ThinkingTryingLittlesIdeasDoneFilmEnergyHappenedFiguresOkayFinishedShootingAbstractIntuitiveThings DoneLittle TimeTime To ThinkGetting Things Done Author:Olivier Assayas
