Because I Am An Englishman I Spent

I Had Heard All Sorts Of Stories About Woody Allen's Directing - Directorial Approach. And Some Of Them Turned Out To Be Myth. But, One Of Them Was That He Doesn't Rehearse And Another Was That He Doesn't Really Direct, If He Doesn't Like It...he Cuts It Out Of The Movie, Or Even Replaces You.

It's Hard To Get Yourself Into A Position Where Someone Will Trust You To Direct A Film Anyway, Whatever Sex You Are. Certainly In England, The Film Set Is A Very Male Preserve. There's A Lot Of Very Rough Looking Men Pushing Equipment Around That Don't Want The Gaffer To Be A Girl.

Certainly, From Where I Stand, I'm Not A Specialist In Wildly Different Walks And Voices. But I Find As Much Variation And Nuance As What Satisfies Me In What I Do. So, I Don't Find This Particularly Different. He Has His Own Peculiarities. You're Probably Talking About A Cluster Of Englishmen In Suits But I've Done Quite A Big Cluster Of Guys Not In Suits As Well, Which I've Occupied Myself With. So, I Don't Find That This Is The One That Stands Out.

No Matter How Much Technique You Draw On Or How Much Training You Have, Acting Is A Mystery.

I Think Everyone Is Throwing Happy Stuff At You, And That's When You Come Over All Humbug. It's Happy Stuff In Your Face, Happy Stuff Is Being Sold To You.
