I Don't Play Chess With My Life,

I Want To Make Movies That Pierce People's Hearts And Touch Them In Some Way, Even If It's Just For The Night While They're In The Cinema; In That Moment, I Want To Bring Actual Tears To Their Eyes And Goosebumps To Their Skin.

I Always Say I've Given 24 Insufficient Performances And I'm Looking Forward To The Time In My Life When I'll Do Something That I Think Is Good. There's Always Stuff You Can Do Better, Stuff That Maybe You Didn't Uncover Enough. But If You Do Something That You Truly Believe Is Perfect, Then That's Got To Be The Last Movie You Do.

Anyway, I'm Doing My Rave And This Spittle Comes Out Of My Mouth And It Winds Its Way Very Delicately Through The Wire Fence That Separates Us And Lands Clear And Bright On Denzel's Lip. And We're At The Beginning Of The Scene And I've Got To Do The Rest Of The Scene, And The Camera Isn't On Him, It's On Me - And I'm Fully Aware That I've Just Spat On Denzel Washington!

I'm Sick To Death Of Famous People Standing Up And Using Their Celebrity To Promote A Cause. If I See A Particular Need, I Do Try To Help. But There's A Lot That Can Be Achieved By Putting A Cheque In The Right Place And Shutting Up About It.

I Can Rely On Me [being A Director], Unlike Some Actors. I Never Got Anything Less Than What I Needed From The Lead Actor.
