My Work Requires Acting At Its Most

I Hope I Make Films Where You Walk Away . . . With Work To Do, Arguments To Have, Things To Worry About, Things To Care About. In That Sense, I Would Regard What I Do As Political.

Some Of My Favorite Movies Are Hollywood Movies. Hollywood Is Part Of The Cinematic Spectrum. I Nurture A Healthy Love-hate Relationship With Hollywood.

The Way An Actor Is Trained Doesn't Ultimately Have Much Bearing On My Work. I'm Interested In The Actor As Artist.

As A General Habit And General Tendency, I Prefer Not To Bog A Piece Down With A Great Number Of Transitory, Contemporary References, Because In The End, I'm Concerned, Not In An Abstract Way, But An Actual Way, With Creating A World Which Has A Universality To It - Even Though What Goes On Is Made Up Of Texture And Detail, Contemporary Detail.

I Discover What My Film Is By Embarking On The Journey Of Making It.
