Given The Events Of Even The 19th

In The First Place, I'm Pretty Thorough About Whom I Choose. I Instinctively Look For The Kind Of Actor Who Is Going To Be Trusting. There Are All Kinds Of Insecure People Out There Called Actors.

For Me The Journey Of Making A Film Is A Journey Of Discovery As To What That Film Is. I Mean What I Do Is What Other Artists Do, Painters, Novelists, People That Make Music, Poets, Sculptors, You Name It. It's About Starting Out And Working With The Material And Discovering Through Making, Working With The Material The Artifact.

I Take No Notice Of The Trends. It Has Never Concerned Me At All. My Job Is To Deal With What I Want To Deal With And Reach An Audience By Doing So.

I Try And Create For The Audience Something That Relates To Real-life Experience. 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.

The Kind Of Acting That's Wholly Literary Or Cerebral Is Wrong. It's Useless For Me To Have Actors So Much In Their Heads That They Can't Be Organic.
