I'm Kind Of A Chatterbox And I

I Had A Prodigious Life, Living In A Grown-up World When I Was A Child. But I Think My Abilities Were About Perceptiveness, And They Were About Examining Psychology And Examining People And Relationships.

I Make Movies About People In Spiritual Crisis Because It's A Way For Me To Spend The Time, The Energy, The Focus And The Obsession To Come To Terms With My Own Spiritual Crisis.

I Make Dark Dramas, Movies About People Living In Desperate Fear Who Then Overcome That Fear And Find A Heroic Side To Themselves.

I Think Anna And The King Is A Look At Asia From The Asian Perspective, Reflecting The Asian Experience, Which Is Very Rare.

I'd Prefer Not To Act In The Film I'm Directing. I Think, Though, As An Actor, You Do Learn How To Turn Things On And Off Quickly And Kind Of Compartmentalize. You Learn To Accommodate The Camera And The Other Actors, To Notice Where The Boom Is And Where You Mark Is, And Be Able To Repeat Something A Few Times.
