I Always Thought The Joy Of Reading

I Don't Ever Like To Feel Myself In The Position To Demand Of An Actor That They Trust I'm Going To Do Something Worthwhile. I Feel A Responsibility To Articulate What It Is I'm Going To Do. Whether That's Showing Them A Full Script Or Sitting Down With Them And Describing My Ideas In Detail. It's A Very Healthy Burden On Me As A Film Director To Be Able To Articulate What I Want To Do, To Inspire Actors, Rather Than Just Saying, Take It On Trust I'll Be Able To Do Something Worthwhile.

I've Never Read Joseph Campbell, And I Don't Know All That Much About Story Archetypes.

I Always Find Myself Gravitating To The Analogy Of A Maze. Think Of Film Noir And If You Picture The Story As A Maze, You Don't Want To Be Hanging Above The Maze Watching The Characters Make The Wrong Choices Because It's Frustrating. You Actually Want To Be In The Maze With Them, Making The Turns At Their Side, That Keeps It More Exciting...i Quite Like To Be In That Maze.

You Always Have To Be Very Aware That The Audience Is Extremely Ruthless In Its Demand For Newness, Novelty And Freshness.

I'm Not A Big Dreamer. I Never Have Been.the Only Thing I've Sort Of Obviously Extracted From The Research Of Dreams Is That I Don't Think There's A Specific Science You Can Put On Dream Psychology. I Think That It's Up To, Obviously, The Individual. Obviously, We Suppress Things, Emotions, Things During The Day - Thoughts That We Obviously Haven't Thought Through Enough, And In That State Of Sleep When Our Subconscious Or Mind Just Sort Of Randomly Fires Off Different Surreal Story Structures, And When We Wake Up We Should Pay Attention To These Things.
