People Have Curiosity, They Have Intelligence, They

When I Met Akira Kurosawa In Japan, One Question He Asked Me Was, "how Did You Actually Make The Children Act The Way They Do? I Do Have Children In My Films But I Find That I Reduce And Reduce Their Presence Until I Have To Get Rid Of Them Because There's No Way That I Can Direct Them." My Own Thought Is That One Is Very Grand, Like An Emperor On A Horse, And It's Very Hard For A Child To Relate To That. In Order To Be Able To Cooperate With A Child, You Have To Come Down To Below Their Level In Order To Communicate With Them.

The One-word Cinema Wasn't Possible For Me Anymore. I'd Hit A Wall, A Dead End. Therefore I Thought I'd Turn Back.

In Order To Be Able To Cooperate With A Child, You Have To Come Down To Below Their Level In Order To Communicate With Them. Actors Are Also Like Children.

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.
