Drama Lives On Conflict. If You're Trying

There Is Just As Much Evil In All Of Us As There Is Good. We're All Continuously Guilty, Even If We're Not Doing It Intentionally To Be Evil. Here We Are Sitting In Luxury Hotels, Living It Up On The The Backs Of Others In The Third World. We All Have A Guilty Conscience, But We Do Very Little About It.

I'm Not Someone Who Enjoys Long Talks, Long Rehearsals. I'm Very Technical: I Tell My Actors, You Come In, You Sit Down, You Pick Up A Coffee, You Look Here, You Say The Line. We Try It With The Cameras Rolling, And If It Doesn't Work, We Adjust It Until It Does. It's Very Simple.

I Learned My Business In The Theater And In Television, Particularly Working With The Actors. You Can Learn Much More In The Theater Than Directing A Movie, Because Then You Have No Time When You Are Shooting A Movie To Really Work With The Actors. You Have To Learn This Craft Somewhere Else.

Films That Are Entertainments Give Simple Answers But I Think That's Ultimately More Cynical, As It Denies The Viewer Room To Think. If There Are More Answers At The End, Then Surely It Is A Richer Experience.

It’s Harder To Write A Story With Just Two People In A Room Than With 50 Characters.
