I Take No Notice Of The Trends.

The Good Thing From My Perspective Is That Nobody Puts Any Pressure On Me To Say What It's Going To Be. The Backers Accept That They Don't Know What They Are Going To Get.

I Know, That Trends And All Of Those Things And Formulae That Calculate What Audiences Want To See And What Audiences Don't Want To See And Various Other Demographic Demarcations Are The Eccentric And Ludicrous Prerogative Of Hollywood Studios. But Out There In The Real World - By Which I Mean The Rest Of The World Where We Make Truthful Organic Films, Independent Films Unimpeded By Interference - It's Not About All Those Sort Of Calculating What Is Commercial. It's About Wanting To Say Things And Saying Them In A Way That Will Get Through To People.

Very Occasionally I Hire An Actor And Get It Wrong. The Actor Just Doesn't Trust The Process Or Me As Fully As I Thought They Would. In This Case, You Can Be Quite Sure That If An Actor Is Untrusting, It's Got Nothing To Do With Me Or The Process.

Some Deeply Untrusting Actors - The Kind That Need To Know Exactly What's What And Are Completely Insecure - Might Be Quite Good Within The Parameters Of A Certain Sort Of Acting.

Some Of My Favorite Movies Are Hollywood Movies. Hollywood Is Part Of The Cinematic Spectrum. I Nurture A Healthy Love-hate Relationship With Hollywood.
