I Discover What My Film Is By

I Really Think People Are Greatly Stimulated And Enriched By Experiencing In Film Just As We Can From Novels And Other Art, Experiencing Things That Resonate With What Our Lives Are About. I Think People Really Want To Know... Want To Share, Want To Have The Stimulus To Think And Care About The Way They Live Their Lives, The Way They Relate To Other People, Their Aspirations, Their Hopes, Et Cetera.

There Are Plenty Of Bad Actors And There Are Plenty Of Bad Directors. There Are Actors Who Will Always Be Bad And There Are Good Actors Who You Cry For Because They're Being Badly Directed Or The Material Isn't Good Enough.

Very Occasionally I Hire An Actor And Get It Wrong. The Actor Just Doesn't Trust The Process Or Me As Fully As I Thought They Would. In This Case, You Can Be Quite Sure That If An Actor Is Untrusting, It's Got Nothing To Do With Me Or The Process.

Resolve Was Never Stronger Than In The Morning, After The Night, When It Was Never Weaker

Given The Choice Of Hollywood Or Poking Steel Pins In My Eyes, I'd Prefer Steel Pins.
