It Was Mainly To Do With Helen

The Way I've Described Helen's Sort Of Rigorous Honesty I Just Think He Also Has Tremendously. It's Very Strange... He Just Has This Sort Of Way Of Making It Happen Really. You're Not Really Aware Of Being Directed, So Much As Being A Part Of This Thing.

I Was Gearing Up For It. I Took Some Singing Lessons. And I Opened My Mouth, And Atom Promptly Said, 'that's Not Going To Happen. We Love Your Voice, But Maybe We Could Use Some Of Your English Wit.' He Had Doubts About It From Way Back. For Starters, We Weren't Going To Be Doing The Italian-american Crooning Thing.

I Like Playing Strange Characters. Some People Might Say It Has Something To Do With A Hidden Part Of Myself, But I Think It's A Lot Simpler Than That: Normal People Are Just Not Very Interesting.

Some People Come Up To Be Directors By Coming Through The Camera Department And There's Not A Lot Of Women In The Camera Department. The Ones That Are Have To Kind Of Prove They're One Of The Boys, I Think. I Don't Want To Get Into Trouble With Generalisations But I Think It's A Fair Observation.

To Work Effectively In A Film, You Have To Repeat And Work Consistently. Basically, You Shoot A Big Master Then You Do Close-ups. You're Supposed To Be In The Same Moment, The Same 30-second Moment, For A Day.
