I Start With Actors That I Know Personally Or I Know Their Work, And There Are Things About Their Work Or Their Presence Or Their Own Personality That Make A Character, That Exaggerates Some Qualities And Suppresses Other Qualities. It's Always A Real Collaboration For Me.

To Me, Everything Is Endless Variations On Other Things. Like Waves In The Ocean. They Continue To Turn Over On Each Other, And They're All Slightly Different. I Don't Know If Originality Is Possible. Is It Even Necessary? Because Everything Is Different Than What Came Before, But It's All Branches From The Same Tree. Originality Is Overrated, But What You Do With Things Is Always Different.
