Paul Hirsch quotes:

I have been typecast in my career, although the type changes with the decades.

The sound is the key; audiences will accept visual discontinuity much more easily than they'll accept jumps in the sound. If the track makes sense, you can do almost anything visually.

I have always had a certain rhythmic approach to my work.

When I started out, I preferred to watch my films without music, as its presence tends to mask the underlying pace of the film. I felt I could feel the rhythm of the film better without music to influence me.

The shooting of the movie is the truth part and the editing of the movie is the lying part, the deceit part
