The Way An Actor Is Trained Doesn't

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.

I Think It’s Important That Nobody Forgets That Although Hollywood Commercially Dominates The World Cinema, In Fact What Comes Out Of The Filmmaking Here Is Only A Tiny Slice Out Of The Massive Amount Of Operation That Goes On Around The World.

There Is A Great Tradition Of Independent Filmmaking In The U.s. That I Absolutely Respect. There's Some Wonderful Stuff That Comes Out In This Country Against All The Odds.

I Don't Know What The Character Is Going To Be. We Sit Down And We Create A Character, And All Of The Characters In All Of My Films Are Made Like That.

People Have Been Very Resistant To Giving Me More Than The Standard Amount Of Money. So I Keep Making Films On A Similar Scale. Which Is Fine, But Also Frustrating.
