I Want To Be Inspiring To Myself,

Caitriona Balfe, Who Is Irish, Is Also In My Movie. I Asked Her To Play Her Irish Accent In The Movie, But Her Own Brogue Is So Faint That I Had To Keep Pumping It Up.

I Fantasize About Having A Manual Job Where I Can Come Home At Night, Read A Book And Not Feel Responsible For What Will Happen The Next Day.

Every Movie Changes You. The Process Of Making A Film Changes You. You Have To Be Obsessed, You Have To Get Up At 3 In The Morning And Go "wait, I Have An Idea!" You Have To Continually Be Drawn Over And Over Again To Deepening Inside That Story, And Ruminating Over Questions: "why Would He Say This To Her? Why If He Was Standing There, Would She Go?" Every One Of Those Answers Has To Come From Some Personal Place, And In Order To Do That, You Can't Sit On The Surface. It's Such A Big Change That You Can't Really Explain It To Anyone Else.

People Say As A Woman Actor Your Career Is Over At 40. But Then They Told Me I Would Never Work Again After I Was 16.

I Want To Change The System From Within The System. And That Means Focusing And Specializing.
