I Always Wanted 'sideways' To Be Like

Cinema Really Lends Itself Well To Big, Archetypal Stories, You Know, Classic Old Stories And You Need Kind Of A Weird, Big Terrain Like The Japanese Plains For Samurai Movies Or The West. You Need That For These Giants To Walk Around.

I Always Think About Visual Comedy. I Was Raised Watching Silents, And I'm Always Thinking About How To Make Cinema, Not Good Talking - Although I Want Good Talking. I'm Much More Interested In Framing, Composition, And Orchestration Of Bodies In Space, And So Forth. My Goal Is Always What Chuck Jones Wanted His Warner Brothers Cartoons To Be, Which Was If You Turn Down The Sound, You Could Still Tell What's Going On.

I Think A Badly Crafted, Great Idea For A New Film With A Ton Of Spelling Mistakes Is Just 100 Times Better Than A Well-crafted Stale Script.
