I Wasn't Searching For A Common Denominator

I Don't Ask My Students To Have Studied Film Or Any Education In General. What I Ask Them Is To Come And Sit And Tell Me A Story, And The Way They Choose It And Tell It, For Me, The Best Criteria For Whether They Are Right For Making Films. There's Nothing More Important Than Being Able To Tell Your Story Orally.

In Real Life, When Someone's Partner Calls Them, They Can Tell From The First Word Their Partner Says What Their Mood Is.

Using Non-actors Has Its Own Rules And Really Requires That You Allow Them To Do Their Own Thing.

My Car's My Best Friend. My Office. My Home. My Location. I Have A Very Intimate Sense When I Am In A Car With Someone Next To Me. We're In The Most Comfortable Seats Because We're Not Facing Each Other, But Sitting Side By Side. We Don't Look At Each Other, But Instead Do So Only When We Want To. We're Allowed To Look Around Without Appearing Rude. We Have A Big Screen In Front Of Us And Side Views. Silence Doesn't Seem Heavy Or Difficult. Nobody Serves Anybody. And Many Other Aspects. One Most Important Thing Is That It Transports Us From One Place To Another.

I Remember When I Came Out Of An Exam Thinking I Had Done Well And Then I Had A Clue That Maybe One Answer Was Wrong, I Remembered That I Rather Stop Knowing, Stop Thinking About It, Appreciating Life Instead. So First, It Was Just A Memory. But Then I Realized That In Life, It's A Much More General Sentiment - That Instead Of Waiting For Other People's Judgment, I'd Rather Focus On My Own Feelings, That Everything Is Fine. To Go On With My Life Rather Than Anticipating Other People's Judgements That Might Be Negative.
