An Excerpt from Melinda's Conversation with Wim Wenders

From the set of Paris Texas

Melinda Camber Porter: The first thing I have been noticing on the set is that everyone is very confused. It seems that every decisions of yours gets changed at the last moment, and I wondered if this was a conscious choice. That's to say that, you know, like in sculpture, if you're dealing with marble, let's say, you knock away at something, and if you're dealing with clay, you build it up. I was wondering if it was a conscious artistic choice.

Wim Wenders: We decided to keep ourselves totally open. And in a sense, I wish, myself, I hadn't been that open, but I think it was for the good of the movie because we really found out a lot of things about what should actually happen at the end. And I don't think anybody could have conceived the ending that we have now, a month ago.
