I Have Had So Many Bad Auditions.

What I Learned About Acting, From My Experiences Directing, Is Why So Many Producers And Directors Don't Like Actors. You Go Through All Of This Work Securing A Location, Figuring Out How To Get Electricity There, How To Get Trucks Parked Where They Need To Be, And Where Catering Is Going To Come From. And If The Actors Don't Come Up With Some Magic, It Actually Didn't Matter. That Creates A Lot Of Animosity Towards The Actors.

The Drones Are Really Interesting - How Have The Troops Withdrawn From Afghanistan? Because We've Upped The Drone Strikes And Most Of The Country Doesn't Even Really Know What That Means Or Who We're Killing Or... It's Such A New Weapon That We Don't Know What The Long Term Impacts Of That Kind Of Military Action Is Going To Be.

I'm Always Trying To Look For How I Can Find Human Stories That Aren't Just Dramas.

And The Best Films Feel Like A Fist Punching You In The Solar Plexus And All Elements Of The Filmmaking Process - The Acting, The Design, The Cinematography, The Music, Is All Working To One End.

A Good Movie Humanizes People.
