Good Acting Is About Reacting, Not Tryingto

I Like To Work With Actors That Have Varied Experiences. But I Don't Choose Them Because Of Their Experience, I Choose Them Because Of Qualities I Think Would Make An Interesting Character And To Me There Is No One Way To Direct Actors, There Is Only One Way To Collaborate With One Person.

When I'm Trying To Imagine Something, I Have A Few Elements, A Few Ideas, Maybe A Certain Actor Or Actress I Want To Create A Certain Type Of Character For, Or Maybe A Certain Place.

Nothing Is Original. Steal From Anywhere That Resonates With Inspiration Or Fuels Your Imagination Authenticity Is Invaluable; Originality Is Non-existent. And Don’t Bother Concealing Your Thievery - Celebrate It If You Feel Like It.

It Was A Really Interesting Time In New York In The Late 70s And Early 80s, And The Music Scene Was Really, Really Interesting Because You Didn't Have To Be A Virtuoso To Make Music, It Was More About Your Desire To Express Things.

Specific Music Starts Feeding My Imagination And Gives Me A Landscape That Corresponds Somehow, In Some Abstract Way, To The World I'm Just Starting To Imagine.
