As An Artist, I Feel That We

I Like To Act In Films, I Like To Shoot 'em, I Like To Direct 'em, I Like To Be Around 'em. I Like The Feel Of It And It's Something I Respect. It Doesn't Make Any Difference Whether It's A Crappy Film Or A Good Film. Anyone Who Can Make A Film, I Already Love. But I Feel Sorry If They Don't Put Any Thought In It Because Then They Missed The Boat.

Most People Don't Know What They Want Or Feel. And For Everyone, Myself Included, It's Very Difficult To Say What You Mean When What You Mean Is Painful. The Most Difficult Thing In The World Is To Reveal Yourself, To Express What You Have To... As An Artist, I Feel That We Must Try Many Things - But Above All, We Must Dare To Fail. You Must Have The Courage To Be Bad - To Be Willing To Risk Everything To Really Express It All.

During The Actual Filming, I’m Not Really Listening To Dialogue. I’m Watching To See If The Actors Are Communicating Something And Expressing Something. I’m Just Watching A Conversation. You’re Not Aware Of Exactly What People Are Saying. You Are Aware Of What They Are Intending And What Kind Of Feeling Is Going On In That Scene.

An Artist Can Accomplish Anything Provided He Doesn't Accept Facts Or Defeat For More Than A Few Minutes.

To Me There Is A Name For Each Person. I Think It’s Marvelous To Have A Name. A Woman Is Not A Woman. It’s Either Gena Or My Mother Or Some Other Person.
