I've Always Been A Fan Of Science

I'm Not Sure I Agree With The Thesis, Because I Think That Even Though Something Grotesque Or Gross Has Been Part Of Film Since Way Back, What We Accept Or What We Can Get Away With On The Screen Is Broader Now.

It Seemed Like So Much Of Romantic Relationships Today Have To Do When The People Are Not In The Same Room. Whether It's Texting Or Emailing Or Facebooking, There's A Kind Of Distance Between The Participants. I Think It's Sort Of Shifted The Energy Of That First Romantic Meeting, Where It's Quicker, Perhaps More Desperate, More Energetic, In A Whole Different Way, And It's Resulted In A Situation Where People Seem To Be Sometimes More Comfortable Having A Sexual Relationship Than An Emotional One.

I Believe That Improvisation Is Really Just A Directorial Tool. It's A Writing Tool. It's Not So Much That The Actors Get To Say Whatever They Want, Whatever Pops Into Their Head. It's An Opportunity To Write The Last Draft Of The Screenplay As You're Working On It.

The Hardest Thing For Everyone, For The Writer, For The Director And Certainly For The Actors, Is Not To Panic When They're Doing A Certain Line For The Tenth Time Because Everything Ceases To Be Funny After It's Been Repeated.

I Always See Things That I Can Improve. But Frankly With Stripes, I'm Surprised At How Effective It Is, Even Today, And How Vibrant That Movie Is And How Juicy The Performances All Are.
