The Way An Actor Is Trained Doesn't

The Reason My Films Work Is Because Every Actor On Set Is Very Secure. They're Able To Fly.

I Make Films Because I Am Endlessly Fascinated By People. I'm Fascinated Immediately To Know About The Lives That Are Going On Around Me. That Is What Drives Me. And That Is Because Everybody Matters, Everybody Is There To Be Cared About, Everybody Is Interesting And Everybody Is The Potential Central Character In A Story. Judging People Is Not Acceptable.

I Try And Create For The Audience Something That Relates To Real-life Experience.

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.

You Will Find Hardly Any Improvising On Camera Anywhere In My Films. It's Very Structured, But It's All Worked Out From Elaborate Improvisations Over A Long Period, As You Know.
