Films Take Up So Much Time, And

You Make Sure That There's A Structure That's Interesting For Them To Play On Top Of, Then Do Temp Versions And Try It On The Film. By The Time The Players Come To The Recording Session, I've Found What Works. So I'm Not Wasting Their Time.

I Never Had Any Urge Or Desire To Do Like A Big Spectacular Movie With Thousands And Thousands Of Extras. I'd Rather Watch Paint Drying. But Put Me In A Room With Three People Having A Hard Time, Like A Character Situation, And Then You're Into A Really Intense Portraiture Kind Of Concept.

I Play Piano And Trumpet. I Studied Classical Guitar.

Then I Became Interested In Drama, And Almost By Accident, I Drifted Into Film.

Obviously, I Try To Make The Films Work For An Audience. That's The Main Point Of Making A Film, And In Retrospect, One Can See That Certain Films, Let's Say Leaving Las Vegas, Demonstrated Its Own Success.
