I've Long Since Stopped Worrying About How

The Main Problem Is That The Hollywood System Has Already Made The Film Before The Director Shoots A Single Frame.

Films Are Made All Over The World All The Time And Only A Thin Slice Of That Product Is Hollywood.

I Think Michael Caine Is A Perfectly Good Actor But It's Obvious He's Not Going To Be In One Of My Films.

When It Comes To Thinking About How A Character Talks, There Are Literary And Language Considerations. For Actors To Be Able To Differentiate Between Themselves And The Characters They Are Playing While At The Same Time Remain In Character And Spontaneous Requires A Sophisticated Combination Of Skills And Spirit.

I Think The Camera Has Got To Be Motivated. You Can't Have Things Arrived At Gratuitously. Everything Has To Have An Organic Function, But The More Comfortable I've Become And The More Imaginative And Sophisticated And The More Exploratory I've Become At The Medium, The More I've Subtly Deviated Away From That In Various Ways.
