Because Of The Way That I Work With The Actors And Because A Scene Is Not In This Rigid And Literal Interpretation Of Something Written, I Can Constantly Change Stuff, Which Means I Can Get A Scene Absolutely Perfect, And Then When We Go To Shoot It, The Requirements Of The Shot Mean It Would Be Useful To Extend The Dialogue Or Take A Line Out Or Swap Things Around. So The Camera Doesn't Serve The Action. The Action Serves The Camera. That's Important. So It Becomes More And More Organic And Integrated.

When You're Meeting Somebody For The First Time, All You Have To Go On Are Your Preconceptions And Your Stereotypes And Whatever Else, But Gradually As You Get To Know Them, They Change. They Become More Three-dimensional, And You Start To See Them In Layers.

Some Of My Favorite Movies Are Hollywood Movies. Hollywood Is Part Of The Cinematic Spectrum. I Nurture A Healthy Love-hate Relationship With Hollywood.

I Think It’s Important That Nobody Forgets That Although Hollywood Commercially Dominates The World Cinema, In Fact What Comes Out Of The Filmmaking Here Is Only A Tiny Slice Out Of The Massive Amount Of Operation That Goes On Around The World.
