Few Years Ago I Did A Movie,

My First Car Was Kind Of Sad. My First Car Was When My Parents Had Completely Worn Out Their Toyota Corolla That They Had For 16 Years Or Something. They Gave Me, For My 19th Birthday, This Really Ancient Toyota. So That Was My First Car. And I Loved It. I Thought It Was Amazing, And I Drove It Cross-country. It Was Not Aesthetically Appealing In Any Way. It Was It Fast. It Did Not Handle Well, But It Lasted Forever. I Drove Cross-country And Back, And Then I Gave It To My Sister, And She Drove It For Another 10 Years.

Alejandro Amenabar Is A Different Kind Of Director Than I Lot Of The Directors I've Asked For. He Really Asks You To Enter His Dream As Opposed To, You Know, A Guy Like Sidney Lumet Or Something Is Going To Ask You To Create A Character Almost Like A Documentary. He Wants You To Make The People Really Real And He's Going To Capture It Like A Documentarian.

Right Now The Only People I Can Really Fall In Love With Are People Who Don't Really, Truly Want Me Around. Now Why Do I Do That?

Directing Is Like Putting Together A Collage.

The Experience On That Movie (dead Poets Society) Was, For Lack Of A Better Term, Life-altering. Peter Weir Has A Unique Talent For Making Movies That Are Intelligent But Also Mainstream. I've Never Been Terribly Successful At Doing That.
