“I never really got interested in film per se, until one afternoon when I saw Citizen Kane… It was a revelation to me, as it was to a lot of people. All of a sudden here was this massive, complex, involving story that left the screen with you. It didn’t stay on the screen and lay back there like certain kinds of food that you eat and then five minutes later you’re hungry again. It really stayed with me and I saw it again and again, five or six times. It’s kind of a quarry for filmmakers, like James Joyce’s Ulysses is a quarry for writers.”
