Reality

"To me, art is not therapy, and there's no catharsis. It's not cathartic to do something like this film, for me... that's the reality: you will suffer, and it won't go away. Doing the movie was more because, as an artist, you tend to shape your experience of life into some kind of art, and that's your impulse to do that."
