Hollywood Is Much More Than America. Hollywood

Bernard Herrmann Was A Genius, A Great, Great Composer.

I Think The Writer Is Always The Creator, Because He's Starting With Nothing, But The Actor Comes In And Gives Flesh And Blood.

People Inside The Theaters Usually, Not 100 Percent But Most Of Them, Enjoy The Movie. Usually They Come With A Small Negative View. In A Way, They're Prepared To Get Bored Because It's Silent And Because It's Black And White. So They Are Much More Pleased To Be Entertained In A Way. They're Very Happy When They Go Out. This Was My Job. For The Other Ones, I Can Do Nothing Except Screen The Movie And Hope That They Will Say To Their Friends That It's Not So [bad].

I Like To Shoot Beautiful Things. My Two Previous Movies Were One In The '60s, The Other One In The '50s, And This One Is In The '20s. This Is A Period That's Very Cinegenic. The Cars, The Props, The Suits, The Haircuts, The Dresses, Everything, And It Gives You Pleasure To Compose Frames With That Material. The Music, I Really Love Jazz, So For Me, When You Have Good Materials And Nice Things, It's Very Pleasant.

I Make Almost All The Decisions On Set And Have To Deal With All The Financial Aspects.
