You Go To The Cinema And You Realize You're Watching The Third Act. There Is No First Or Second Act. There Is This Massive Film-making Where You Spend This Incredible Amount Of Money And Play Right To The Demographic.

So, Most Of It Was Done Over The Phone. But One Of The First Things I Did As A Director, Because It's One Of The First Things You Should Do, Even Though Most Don't, Is To Ask Good Actors Who They Think Is Right For The Part. They Know Better Than Anybody. But Without Missing A Beat Maggie Said Pauline Collins. I Didn't Know Pauline Because I Hadn't Seen Shirley Valentine, But Then I Saw This Thing That She Did With Woody Allen [you Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger], In Which She Was Wonderful As A Psychic, And I Said To Her On The Phone: "the Dialogue Seemed Improvised."
