The artist must depend on his own experience, feelings, and thoughts in crafting a cinematic work.

A passionate proponent of the creative and psychological benefits of boredom as a function of learning to fully inhabit time, he considers the undergirding psychological scaffolding that makes the allure of film so robust: Her birimizin içinde olan o özgün insanilik ve ebedilik üzerinde düşünmeyi teşvik etmeyi görevim sayıyorum.Ne yazık ki bu sonsuzluk ve öz,insanın kendi yazgısını kendi elinde tutmasına karşın sık sık görmezden geliniyor.Birtakım aldatıcı idealler peşinde koşulması yeğleniyor.Ancak gene de geride insanın varlığını inşa ettiği ufacık bir kırıntı kalıyor:sevme yeteneği.İşte bu kırıntı insan ruhunda,hayatını belirleyecek bir yer işgal edebilir,varlığına anlam katabilir."
