I Like Actors - I Used To

I Think There Are Things That Aren't Represented In Movies That Are A Big Part Of Everyone's Life. We Romanticize Everything About People In Movies. One Of The Things I Don't Like In Movies Is That People Feel Alone With Their Bodily Functions In The Real World, As If People In The Movies Don't Do These Things.

And Then To See The Whole Movie, You're Pretty Much Waiting Until The End Of Production. And The Major Lifting In Terms Of Editing And All That Stuff Is Done Before You Shoot The Movie. That's An Unusual Way To Work.

I Think That People Create The World That They Live In. Your Existence Is Very Subjective, And You Tell Stories And Organize The World Outside Of You Into These Stories To Help You Understand It.

I Do Have Some Theatrical Background. I've Written Plays And Seen Plays And Read Plays. But I Also Read Novels. One Thing I Don't Read Is Screenplays.

When I'm Writing A Script, Before I Can Write Dialogue Or Anything, I Have Two Or Three Hundred Pages Of Notes, Which Takes Me A Year. So, It's Not Like "what Happens Next." I've Got Things That I'm Thinking About But I Don't Settle On Them. And If I Try To Write Dialogue Before Then, I Can't. It's Just Garbage.
