There's A Sadness To The Human Condition

In Discussing The Process With The Actors, I Made It Clear To Them That They Could Improvise But That The Sum Total Of Their Improvisation Needed To Impart Certain Plot Points, And Schematic Material.

I Had No Plans To Be A Director.

I Would Certainly Say That Films Like Time Code And The Loss Of Sexual Innocence Were Far More Rewarding To Me In Terms Of Being Able To Move Forward As A Filmmaker.

When I Do The Music, I Make The Musicians Listen To What's Happening In The Film. That Way They Treat The Dialogue As If It Was A Singer.

Each Film Is Different. Time Code Was Very Quick - A Matter Of Months. Miss Julie Has Been On My Shelf As A Script For Some Seven Or Eight Years. But Then The Shooting Process Was Very Quick - 16 Days.
