It's Ginned Up By The Corporate Plutocracy

To Me, Achieving Tone, Achieving Consistency, Is Exactly The Job Of A Director. It Is To Be The Fusing, The Nexus Of A Whole Bunch Of People Contributing To The Complex Life Of A Movie. There Are Actors, There's A Cinematographer, There're Costume People, Set People, There Are All These Things, And You Somehow Have To Be The Person In The Middle Of It Who Is Making It All Synchronize Into The Same Magic Bubble.

All People Are Paradoxical. No One Is Easily Reducible, So I Like Characters Who Have Contradictory Impulses Or Shades Of Ambiguity. It's Fun, And It's Fun Because It's Hard.

In Drama, I Think, The Audience Is A Willing Participant. It's Suspending A Certain Kind Of Disbelief To Try To Get Something Out Of A Story.

A Lot Of Why I Do Something Is Just The Novelty Of The Experience.

I Never Think That A Film Should Answer Questions For You. I Think It Should Make You Ask A Lot Of Questions.
