I Take No Notice Of The Trends.

The Delineation Between The Actor And His Part Is A Practical Matter. When The Camera Runs, You Want The Actor To Be The Character.

The Whole Thing About Making Films In An Organic Film On Location Is That It's Not All About Characters, Relationships And Themes, It's Also About Place And The Poetry Of Place. It's About The Spirit Of What You Find, The Accidents Of What You Stumble Across.

I Try And Create For The Audience Something That Relates To Real-life Experience. When You're Meeting Somebody For The First Time, All You Have To Go On Are Your Preconceptions And Your Stereotypes And Whatever Else, But Gradually As You Get To Know Them, They Change. They Become More Three-dimensional, And You Start To See Them In Layers.

What I Do Is To Collaborate With Each Actor And Work One-on-one To Create A Character. And That Is A Matter Of Huge Complexity And Is A Combination Of A Great Deal Of Discussion And A Lot Of Practical Work. It Involves A Lot Of Consideration For The Real People Out There, And All Kinds Of Sources Of Real People. The Result Is The Character. But I'm Not Supposed To Talk About What It Is We Do, Because It's Nobody's Business.

The Kind Of Acting That's Wholly Literary Or Cerebral Is Wrong. It's Useless For Me To Have Actors So Much In Their Heads That They Can't Be Organic.
