I Love Working With Actors. That's What

I Love Working With Actors. That's What The Set Really Is, For Me. It's My Time With The Actors.

People Seem To Think That My Movies Are So Carefully Coordinated And Arranged - And In A Lot Of Ways, They Are - But Every Single Time I Make A Movie, I Feel That Every Director Makes These Choices. You Make Choices About Your Script, You Make Choices About Your Actors, And How You're Going To Stage It, And How You're Going To Shoot It, And What The Costumes Are Going To Be Like, And In Every Single Detail, You Make That Decision. And For Me, What Ends Up Happening Is, I Wind Up Surprised At The Combination Of All These Ingredients. It Never Is Anything Like What I Expected.

When Something Is Discovered By People In Movie Theaters, It's Discovered By People Who Are All Together, And There's A Sort Of Feeling Of An Event About It. And When It's On Video, It's Like Something Is Being Discovered In The Library Or Something. It's Like Having A Second Life In Public Libraries. It's Just Like Individuals, And It's Less Of A... We Can't Participate In It The Same Way.

The Things That Are More My Own Style Are Something That I Don't Really Have To Think About. The Only Time I Have To Think About Them Is If I Want To Force Myself Not To Do It The Way I Do It.

Usually When I'm Making A Movie, What I Have In Mind First, For The Visuals, Is How We Can Stage The Scenes To Bring Them More To Life In The Most Interesting Way, And Then How We Can Make A World For The Story That The Audience Hasn't Quite Been In Before.
