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.
