I Mean, Movies Are Like Your Kids

I Have To Have A Working Knowledge Of Light, And Optics, Film Emulsions And Their Properties, And Lenses, Otherwise I Can't Create The Shoots That Are The Vocabulary Of The Films. But It Is Not Necessary For Me To Be A Cameraman, I Can Hire A Cameraman.

You Are Not An Active Creator Of The Film.

When You Work Without A Script, You Are In A Sense Working In A Much More Improvisational Way Than When You Are Prepared Totally.

When You Spend Your Life Acting And Being Other People, As Opposed To Being The One Person That You Are, You Learn That Life Is Gray Sometimes, Not Black And White. That What You Thought Was True Isn't Necessarily True If You Switch Sides.

Making A Film Is A Way For Me To Understand What It's Like To Be A Murderer, To Confess, To Be A Beaten Wife, To Be A Minority, To Be A Victor, To Get The Girl, To Lose The Girl. I Can Do All Of That Through The Practice Of An Art Form.
