As Far As The Difference For Me

I Left The Studio At 5:30 In The Morning. It's An Incredible Mind Exercise. You Have To, Obviously, Have Stamina, But You Really Feel Like You're Kind Of Feeding Your Mind. It's A Challenge Of Learning Lines Very Fast And Then You Have To Be Lose Enough To Hopefully Make Good Choices In A Much Shorter Amount Of Time That It Takes To Film Certain Scenes.

I Also Have Always Felt That Television Has A Huge Potential For The Kinds Of Audiences That Some Films Would Never Dream Or Ever Be Able To Have. So That Potential Is Very Exciting To Me.

I'm Fascinated By The First World War Because It Was Supposed To Be The War To End All Wars, And It Was The Biggest Conflagration That This Particular Planet Had Seen. There Was A Lot Of Talk About Utopia And How It Was Possible, And Then, Because Of These Events That For One Reason Or Another Couldn't Be Stopped, The Idea Of Utopia Went Out The Window.

It's Gotten Out Of Control. It's Taking Bigger And Bigger Names To Make Smaller And Smaller Films. I Worry That Important Films Without A Big Name Attached Won't Get Made At All.

I've Found Myself Getting More And More Cynical About What's Happening To The Planet - It Makes Me Furious.
