I Don't Have Anything To Prove To

When You're Working On A Creative Thing, Everyone Has An Idea, And They're Pushing It. The First Time You Work With Anybody, You Have To Get Comfortable With The Way Another Person Pushes Hard For What They Want.

I Hear About Actors Being Exterior Actors And Actors Being Instinctual Actors And I Always Think It's Crap. Anybody Who Knows Anything About It Knows That Good Actors Do Both - They Do Inside-outward And They Do Outside-inward. You Can't Not Do Both.

There Are Tens Of Thousands Of Charities And Hundreds Of Thousands, Getting Towards Millions, Of People Now Using It. And When I Flip Through It, I'm Just Blown Away By People.

I Don't Feel Insecure About Any Of This Work Anymore. Maybe I Don't Have What I Had When I Was Younger. I'm Not Really Hungry To Prove Anything To Anybody, Really. But When I Stand Outside Myself And Observe What I Think Are My Strengths And Weaknesses Going Into Directing, It's What You Just Said, An Affliction To Organize Moments.

When I'm Looking For Zen And I'm Not Saying This Facetiously At All - I Would Really Rather Surf, Scuba Dive, Or Fly My Plane. And, When I Feel Tension About The Grind Of Work, It's Not Getting The Money To Make Films Versus Making Films That Constitutes The Grind, It's All This Stuff.
