If It's Good Art, It's Good.

I Certainly Have Been Guilty Of Trying To Sweep Things Under The Carpet.

I Noted About Cate Blanchett Was Her Very Positive Lack Of Concern For How She Turns Out In Cinderella. She Is Happy To Be A Villainess And Very Pleased To Be Encouraged As I Did With Her To Reveal This Backstory And Feel As Though This Was Very Human, That This Broken Heart Of Hers, If You Might Regard It That Way, Would Be Visible, But She Never Played For Sympathy And I Really Admired That About Her, So She's Just There, She Just Is And Uncompromisingly.

Even If People Are All From The Same Place, There Can Be Very, Very Different Approaches. It's One Of The Things I'm Fascinated By. It's Why I Like Directing. I Like To See How Different People Approach Trying To Be Truthful, On Camera Or In The Theater, And Whether You Can Make Them Match Up.

When I'm Acting, I'm In The Director's Hands. I'm Very Happy To Be. I Like To Be Focused On What I'm Doing.

Across All Cinderella Versions It Was Clear That The 21st Century Was Not Very Much In Evidence, Particularly In The Character Of Cinderella So It Seemed, It Felt Actually As Though It Hadn't Been Done For Quite Some Time, Not With The Kind Of Lushness That We Could Do It With, With An Absolute Removal Of The Passivity Of Cinderella And Finding An Amusing Way, A Lighthearted But Significant Way Of Making Her Proactive And Not A Girl Who's Life Is About Waiting For A Bloke.
