My Work Is About Life As You

In The First Place, I'm Pretty Thorough About Whom I Choose. I Instinctively Look For The Kind Of Actor Who Is Going To Be Trusting. There Are All Kinds Of Insecure People Out There Called Actors.

I Know, That Trends And All Of Those Things And Formulae That Calculate What Audiences Want To See And What Audiences Don't Want To See And Various Other Demographic Demarcations Are The Eccentric And Ludicrous Prerogative Of Hollywood Studios. But Out There In The Real World - By Which I Mean The Rest Of The World Where We Make Truthful Organic Films, Independent Films Unimpeded By Interference - It's Not About All Those Sort Of Calculating What Is Commercial. It's About Wanting To Say Things And Saying Them In A Way That Will Get Through To People.

It's An Unhealthy Habit To Say That Life Is What You Make Of It, And If You Want To Be Happy, Then You Can Be Happy. That's Just Rubbish, Basically. Life Is About Luck And It's About Circumstances And Socioeconomic Conditions And All The Rest Of It, But You Know, You Can Also Make Choices. It's About Spirit And Generosity And All The Other Things, Too.

The Whole Thing About Making Films In An Organic Film On Location Is That It's Not All About Characters, Relationships And Themes, It's Also About Place And The Poetry Of Place. It's About The Spirit Of What You Find, The Accidents Of What You Stumble Across.

The Notion That Acting Is Simply About Intuitively Responding To Situations The Way You Feel Couldn't Be Farther Away From How I Ask Actors To Work.
