If You're Going To Act And Do

You Know, I Became A Director Out Of Necessity. I Was Writing Comedies, And I Couldn't Find Anybody To Deliver It Correctly.

When You Improvise On The Spot, People Are Very Reluctant To Have Soft Moments Or Quiet Moments Or Sad Moments Because They're Trying To Fill Up The Spaces. So They Always Go Towards, "how Come You're Late?! You're Supposed To Have My Shirt Ready! You Call This A Dry Cleaner?!" That's What Happens. That's Why Improvising On The Spot Gets Very Dicey.

Art And Resistance Are Great Together. That's What Art's Made For. Look At Vincent Van Gogh: He Didn't Cut Off His Ear Because He Was Selling Well.

Once You Sign On As An Actor, You Know, You Don't Go To The Editing Room, You Don't See How They Cut, You Don't See How They Score, You Don't See How They Cast The Rest Of The Movie.

If You Want To Be A Writer, Just Write. There's No Magic To It.
