I love making cheap films. I really do. What I’ve found is that I work better when it’s both a fairly low budget and a short schedule. It focuses the mind, and it’s a better atmosphere.
I start with the subject matter I want to write about. Then I make a musical base for that and create an atmosphere with the music. Once I’ve done that, the lyrics come last.
I am creating a better atmosphere for our children and other children.
To me, a book is a book. A novel is a novel, and you have hundreds of possibilities, options, and they may all be fine. Charles Dickens or Ingeborg Bachmann, Claude Simon or later writers. The one and only condition is that it has to be good: it has to have quality, substance, atmosphere.
