If You Try To Act, You're Going

When You Go For Something Because You're Curious About It, You Get Psyched Up About The Chance Of Getting Into It. It's Like An Actor Meets A Role, And You Slip Into That Body And See What Happens, To Experience Certain Conditions, To Adopt A Certain Character. Even Shooting Is A Study Of The Character. I Think Both The Character And The Actor, And Eventually The Filmmaker - Myself - Are Finding A Way To Accept Their Environment And Being Accepted And Feel Comfortable Of Themselves.

The Thing We Call Critics Are Not Really Reviewers, They Are Not Really Critics. They Don't Have The Discipline To Write What We Would Term As Critique - It's Really Just Reviewers. They Have A Common Man Kind Of Taste. If You Watch Them Overall, They Are Not Different From The Box-office. That's My View.

I Don't Have A Checklist. Whatever Material Excites Me, They'll Call For A Certain Genre Or Combination Of Genres. It'll Come Naturally And I'll Be Eager To Learn How That Thing Works. I Learn The Rules, And I'll Probably Break Some Of Them.

Even Dramatically How You Position Some Person, The Depth, The Existence [in 3d] Is Different Than A Flat Image Even Though By Itself It Has Depth, We Create The Illusion Of Depth. For Example, Some Of The Shots I Have To Stay Closer To The Actor Because It's A Young Actor, I Like It Closer For Some Of The Shots. I Watch 2d Scenes Next To The Camera, Then When I Go Back To My Station And Watch It In 3d I Have To Go Back And Reduce His Acting, He Has To Shrink A Little Bit Because He Peeks Out More.

When I Sent Those Scripts, That Was The Lowest Point Of My Life. We'd Just Had Our Second Son, And When I Went To Collect Them From Hospital, I Went To The Bank To Try And Get Some Money To Buy Some Diapers, The Screen Showed I've Got $26 Left.
