I like to direct landscapes just as I like to direct actors and animals. - Werner Herzog

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.

Let me speak of Son of Sam. He has been called a mad dog. He is not a mad dog ‐- he is a mad human being, perhaps only a step removed from the rest of us. One has to acknowledge him as a human being and to respect his dignity even in his madness. Otherwise, there is the danger that people may start to kill each other like mad dogs.

Only if this were a film would I consider it real.
