As I Do With Most Films, I

Free Time Keeps Me Going. It's Just Something That's Always Been A Part Of My Life. I Was Originally A Painter, And I Made Films Sort Of As An Extension Of That, And Then I Started To Try To Make Dramatic Films Because The Early Films Were Experimental Films.

I'm Thinking Of Remaking 'psycho' Again. Doing A Third Remake. The Idea This Time Is To Really Change It - We're Talking About Doing A Punk Rocker Setting.

A Lot Of Times, You're Not Necessarily Off The Page Because You Haven't Been Able To Take The Time To Prepare A Character. It's Very Easy To Find Even Great Actors Reading It More Like A Reading. Things Aren't Really Coming Alive Yet, Even Though You Know They Will.

Casting The Locals Is My Primary Concern Because All The Other Things You Assume Will Be Manageable.

I Try To Get To Know The Actors As Much As I Can. I Feel Like I'm Friends With Them For Starters And For A Week Or Two, We Rehearse When They're Getting The Costumes Together.
