No One Is Asking What Happened To

Normally My Process Is To Sit In A Room And Read A Script And Talk About It And Ask Questions And Just Create A Dialogue. That Goes All The Way Through Shooting. All Kinds Of Thoughts And Ideas Can Find Their Way In There. As Long As You're All On - We're Just All Trying To Tell The Story So My Job As A Director Is Just To Find Out What This Film Wants To Be Based On, It's Just Words On A Page At Some Point But Then It Just Needs To Go To Some Level Of Believable Storytelling. I'm Discovering The Film As I Make It, To Some Degree.

Everything That You Could Think About In Life, Or Experience, Or Be Interested In, Theoretically Should Be Expressed Or Dealt With In Cinema. But The Way Typical Narratives Are Set Up, There's No Room For Philosophy, Because It's Just Digressive Material. It's Not Advancing The Plot, So There's No Place For It. It's The Kind Of Stuff You Would Cut Out, And That You Shouldn't Have Put In There To Begin With.

The Big Nut To Crack Is To How To Tell A Story, What’s The Right Way To Tell A Particular Story.

My Sisters Would Swear That I Was The Spoiled Kid Who Got Everything He Wanted, And I Would Go "no Way! I Worked My Ass Off And You Guys Got Everything." We're All Kind Of In Our Own Narratives.

I Have A Lot Of Women Friends - I Feel Like I Finally Matured A Little. But Initially I Was Attracted To Some Of Them. I Liked Everything They Were About. I Think Men Are Just Taught: "okay, Well Then, I Should Try To Have Sex With Them." I'm Just Lucky That It Went In The Friendship Direction, And It Became A Much Stronger Bond That's Lasted A Long Time. You Wonder How Many Potentially Great Friends You Lose Along The Way Because You Become Lovers And It Is So Painful When It's Over And You Can't Turn It Into A Positive Friendship.
