I Think Technology Is Having A Democratising

As An Actor, If You Step To The Side And You Look At [thornton's Performance] Technically, And You Try To Imagine Doing What He Was Doing, Most People Would Panic. Most People Would Be On The Set, And They Would Be Panicking, Going, "i'm Not Doing Anything!" All The Ham Instincts In You Would Be Screaming, "you've Got To Indicate Something Here." And It's Beautiful, In A Way. And So I Appreciate, Even As An Audience Member, The Courage That It Takes To Be... Frankly, To Be Subtle.

I'm Pretty Busy In My Life And I'm Very Aware Of What It Takes To Direct A Movie. It Takes A Lot Out Of You; It Takes A Lot Out Of The Rest Of Your Life, From Other People In Your Life. I Don't Lie Around Hungering For That Consumption Very Often.

My Greatest Hope Is That We Transcend The Most Fearful Thing, Which Is That We Are Rapidly Degrading The Ecological Systems On This Planet That Support Everything We Are Doing And All Life On It.

But Look At Avatar (2009), One Of The Most Globally Viewed Pieces Of Entertainment To Have Ever Been Made - The Central Emotional Event Of The Whole Movie Was A Tree Being Cut Down. And The Entire Movie, Essentially, Is Saying, "if We Let The Military Industrial Complex Trash The Place That We're Living In, We Will Have Committed An Epic Crime."

I Hear About Actors Being Exterior Actors And Actors Being Instinctual Actors And I Always Think It's Crap. Anybody Who Knows Anything About It Knows That Good Actors Do Both - They Do Inside-outward And They Do Outside-inward. You Can't Not Do Both.
