I Admire Actors And Artists Who Devote

I Remember Chris Cooper Saying To Me - I Was Doing October Sky With Him - And He Said, "you Know, You're Just Yelling At Me." He's Like, "you're Just Yelling. You Need To Listen."

And I Started Listening - And Then All Of A Sudden Where I Was Listening Was Where, I Don't Know, Anger Became Something Else.

And Then He Allows His Actors - I Don't Think Scared Of Actors, But I Think He's Scared Of Getting In On The Scenes He's Watching. The Space He's Watching. So He Just Totally Disconnects From You While You're Shooting.
