I want to try not to repeat myself. But then I seem to do it continuously in my films. It's not something I make any effort to do.

But every decision I make is how to bring those characters forward.

It has a life of its own, an intricate, willful, secret life, as any gardener knows. It is only the humans in it who think of it as a garden. But a garden is a relationship, which is one of the countless reasons why it is never finished.

"Perseverance is more than endurance."
