In Real Life, I Myself Am Kind

There Is An Audience Out There For Literate Films - Slower, More Observant, More Human Films, And They Deserve To Be Made.

Acting Is A Lot Easier Than People Think It Is.

The Thing Is, Right Now The Films Don't Need To Be Overtly Political To Be About Our Times. We Also Need Films That Are Just Human, That Are About People. People Need That, Too. It's Like We Need To Reconnect To What It Is To Be Human. Not Just What Our Political Situation Is. That's Not What I'm Thinking About Exclusively. Human Content Is Needed Again, As It Was In The '70s. I Think Films Were More Human Than They've Been Since Then.

I Like To Think Of Film-making Not Just As An Act Of Personal Self-aggrandisement But Rather As An Act Of Public Service.

What Science-fiction Premises Do Is It Gives You A "what-if" Prism To Look At The Contemporary World With A Wack On The Side Of The Head.
