In Real Life, I Myself Am Kind

I Mean, Look, I Love Movies, Not Just The Ones I Make... In Fact, I Don't Like The Movies I Make Very Much.

But It's Just That The Whole Country Is Making Generally Lousy Films These Days And Has Been For Quite A While. That's The Big Problem That We All Have To Think About.

Marketing Has Supplanted Story As The Primary Force Behind The Worthiness Of Making A Film, And That's A Very Sad Thing. It's Film Only As A Function Of Consumerism Rather Than As An Important Component Of Our Culture, And That's Everywhere Around The World.

I Could Never Be A Part Of An Adaptation Of A Film Where There's Pressure To Not Disappoint The Immense Fan Base. In Those Cases, They Often Wind Up With Filmed Books On Tape, Quite Uncinematic. Having Said That, I'd Say All The Adaptations I've Done Are Quite Faithful To The Original... You Have To Pick And Choose Which Storylines And Plot Threads, Because You Don't Have The Time To Kill In The Film As They Have In Novels. All Those Pages With Detours And Plots And Different Storylines. But Films Add A Lot, And You Gotta Keep It Moving.

I Definitely In Filmmaking More And More Find Writing And Directing A Means To Harvest Material For Editing. It's All About Editing.
