If You Ever Got Me, You Wouldn't

I'm Trying To Tell A Story And Do It Truthfully.

As A Writer, Or As A Filmmaker, You Have To Present Yourself, And Part Of What Yourself Is Is What You're Interested In, Or What You Think Is Funny, Or What You Think Is Sad, Or What You Think Is Horrible.

If You Create Something That Is Asking For People To Respond As They're Going To Respond, You Have To Allow Them To Respond As They're Going To Respond. Some Of The People Are Going To Be Uninterested And Some People Are Going To Be Mad For Some Reason, Which Is Their Business. That's Just The Way The World Is.

When I Found Myself In That Situation - That Actors Are Like Children, I Tried To Be Successful. And When It Worked And I Figured Out How To Communicate That Things Were Good - Or At Least Okay - Then I Felt Pleased.

And So Not Only Do You Have To Make That Work, You Can't Really Start Putting The Thing Together In Any Form Because Some Of The Shots Are Very Short And Obviously Many Of Them Take So Long, You're Waiting Months And Months And Months Before You Can See If It's Going To Be Working Emotionally.
