Jonathan Demme : (3)

" At certain points, I was afraid there was something – a missing chink of skill – that was going to prevent me from having a movie that was financially successful. That frightened me. " - Jonathan Demme

" I like finding a great shot and then just staying with it for a long time, not trying to pump things up with some kind of artificial energy by cutting. " - Jonathan Demme

" The excitement of wading into ‘reality’ and just finding out what happens – and then the challenge of selecting those things that happened and shaping them in the editing into a narrative that will have appeal and be engaging – is a great, great thrill. " - Jonathan Demme
