When I Hire Actors I Believe In

I Won't Rewrite On Set, But I'll Just Trim The Fat.

I Always Try To Keep The Confidence Of The Actors, And Try My Best To Make Them Feel Comfortable Or Confident.

The Way Brainwashing Works Is Subtle And Takes A Long Time.

A Big Fear Of Working With An Actor That's Never Been A Lead In A Film Before Is That You're Going To Have To Work Really Hard To Pull A Performance Out Of Her.

I Remember Being At School During Morning Meeting And Looking Around At Everybody, 350 Kids, Saying A Prayer. We're All Very Young And No One Knows What It Means, And I Remember Feeling Strange That People Were Just Repeating Words That They Didn't Understand. I Refused To Participate. For Some Reason I Always Rejected It, But Respectfully.
