One Of The Things That Made Me

I Am More Alive In The Theater Than Anywhere Else, But What I Take Into The Theater I Get From The Streets.

I Never Saw Myself As A Director. It's Certainly A Second Language But Making Movies For 40 Years, You Pick Stuff Up. However, This Style Of Making Movies, This Documentary Style, Is Easier For Me Because I Gather A Lot Of Material And With An Editor, Write It On Screen. You Try To Write Based On What You Shot.

Francis Ford Coppola Did This Early On. You Tape A Movie, Like A Radio Show, And You Have The Narrator Read All The Stage Directions. And Then You Go Back Like A Few Days Later And Then You Listen To The Movie. And It Sort Of Plays In Your Mind Like A Film, Like A First Rough Cut Of A Movie.

I Was Never Very Happy With Performing; It Didn't Turn Me On Much.

I Want To Be Interesting In An Interview Just As Much As I Want To Do Well In A Part.
