It is that political movement which most radically addresses the person â€“ the personal â€“ citing the need for the transformation of self, of relationships, so that we might be better able to act in a revolutionary manner, challenging and resisting domination, transforming the world outside the self."

“Good luck and good timing are the same thing.”
“I have actually been very fortunate to be able to make films on my own credit card without having huge funders behind me dictating how the story should be told.”
