It's Better To Live As Your Own

An Awful Lot Of Actors Who Are Considered Very Good Actors Are Not Very Good Actors. There Are People Who Just Strike Gold, They Have Intrinsic Talent, But The Point Is That If They Did Train, It Would Not Inhibit Them. If They Were With A Good Teacher, It Would Only Broaden Them More.

God Is A Luxury I Can't Afford.

A Good Director Creates A Playground For Actors, And Lets Them Go. The Trick For A Good Director Is In Casting Properly, And Creating The Playroom, And Then They'll Get Stuff That They Don't Expect, And Can't Even Direct. All The Audience Wants To Believe Is That Whatever Is Happening, It Is Happening For The First Time. They Want To See The People Within The Work Exchanging Dialogue And Action In That Moment. There Are Not A Lot Of Actors That Can Do That.

If It Bothers Me On The Page, I Don't Do It. If It Attracts Me On The Page And Moves Me, Makes Me Think A Bit, Makes Me Laugh, Makes Me Cry, I'm Interested In It. If It's There On The Page, It Means It's There And Up To Me To Bring It Out. I Have Done Some Films Along The Way That Have Been Screwed Up And Not As Good As They Read. Some Films That Are Not That Good On The Page Turn Into Good Movies. So I'm Fallible Is What I'm Saying.

My Mantra Is "stay Perpendicular." Horizontal Is Not As Good. Half The People That Came Along And Up With With Me Are Either Gone To Another Dimension Or Don't Remember What They Had For Lunch. I'm Fortunate. I Don't Know Why. I Just Want To Have A Good Time.
