Some Directors Hardly Talk To The Actors

When I'm Asked Who My Audience Is, I Say Someone With An Open Mind, Which Is Not A Vacant One And Sometimes A Liberal Mind Is Not The Same Thing As An Open One.

Some People See Me As Dissecting My Characters In Some Kind Of Heartless, Coldblooded, Analytical Way, When In Truth Making These Movies Is A Passionate, Intensely Emotional Experience For Me. I'm Detached From The Characters Only To The Degree That I Have To Be In Order To Write Honestly About Them.

People Cant Help How They Look.

Casting Is Everything. If You Get The Right People They Make You Look Good.

Part Of It Has To Do With This Business Of Being Approached In Public. I Have A Distinctive Look - It's Partly The Glasses I Wear - And People Seem To Remember Me Once They've Seen Me.
