Artwork Can Be A Portal, A Kind

Some Directors Hardly Talk To The Actors At All.

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.

I Don't Have A Formula. Every Time An Actor Wants Me To Hold Their Hand, I Hold Their Hand. If They Say, "stay," I Say "okay, Respect." You Know? "i'm Right Over Here." A Kid, If I Need To Give A Line-reading, I'll Start Acting Out The Part For The Kid And Just Mimic The Kid. You Know? Whatever It Takes.

I Love Working With Actors. I Do.

All I Mean Is, I'm Not The Kind Of Audience Comedy Directors Want At A Test Screening Because I Seldom Laugh, And If I Do, It's Not Very Loud. That Doesn't Mean I Don't Like The Movie.
