I'm Not A Breakfast Eater.

I Think You Start To Prepare The Minute You Read Something.

At This Stage, What Would Be Rewarding Would Be For Audiences To Want To Watch.

I'll Tell You What I Probably Would Prefer To Happen Less And Less: Actors That I Know And Respect In Shampoo Ads. Or Modeling.

A Clearer And More Conventional Narrative Would Have Helped The Film Without, In My Opinion, Lessening Its Beauty And Its Impact. Frankly, I'm Still Trying To Figure Out What I'm Doing There And What I Was Supposed To Add In That Context! What's More, Terry Malick Himself Never Managed To Explain It To Me Clearly.

Well, It Was Interesting Because When I Was Going To Do It The First Time In My Head Was Leonardo Dicaprio [for Chris] And Marlon Brando Was Going To Play The Character That Hal Holbrook Eventually Played. But Then When It Wasn't To Be And There Was No Promise That It Ever Would Be I Think Some Part Of Me Didn't Want To Attach Specifics To It Anymore - Actors Or Anything Else - Because I Wanted To See It Made That Much More Badly.
