Independent Filmmaking Has Always Been There And

The Delineation Between The Actor And His Part Is A Practical Matter. When The Camera Runs, You Want The Actor To Be The Character.

My Job Apart From Anything Else Is To Build An Ensemble Composed Of Actors Who All Come From A Secure Place So That They Can All Work Together To Make The Film.

I Really Think People Are Greatly Stimulated And Enriched By Experiencing In Film Just As We Can From Novels And Other Art, Experiencing Things That Resonate With What Our Lives Are About. I Think People Really Want To Know... Want To Share, Want To Have The Stimulus To Think And Care About The Way They Live Their Lives, The Way They Relate To Other People, Their Aspirations, Their Hopes, Et Cetera.

I've Long Since Stopped Worrying About How I'm Portrayed In The Press Because Ultimately It's Not That Important. Everyone Who Knows Me Knows I Do What I Do With The Greatest Integrity.

Life Is About Luck And It's About Circumstances And Socioeconomic Conditions And All The Rest Of It, But You Know, You Can Also Make Choices. It's About Spirit And Generosity And All The Other Things, Too.
