There's Absolutely No Sort Of Acknowledgment Or

I Don't Know If You've Ever Seen Some Of The Sidney Lumet Movies, Like Dog Day Afternoon [1975] Or Network [1976]. They're Real Events That Happen In Real Time, And There Are All Of These Different Characters Experiencing The Same Thing In Different Parts Of The Movie ... I Am So Bad At Explaining My Films. But It's In The World Of Finance And The World Of Media, And How They Connect. It Was A Big Undertaking. A Big, Mainstream Movie, Which Stars Julia Roberts And George Clooney. But For Me, It's Really Just A Small Story About Character And People.

Acting Just Happens To Be My Skill, But I Think I Would Probably Be Just As Happy Being A Technician Or Entering Into The Film Business In Some Other Way.

I Really Did Feel Like I Was Surrounded By Family Members. I Didn't Have A Dad, And I Remember There Were All These Guys - In The Old Days, There Were No Women, Except A Makeup Artist Or, Occasionally, A Script Supervisor. So There Were Just Guys Who Taught Me How To, You Know, Whittle Wood, Or How To Pull Focus, And What The Camera Was Doing. And If I Was Being Bratty, They'd Sit Me Down And Tell Me. There Were Lots Of Rules About Not Being Late And Making Sure That You Didn't Spill Anything. So It Felt A Little Bit Like I Was In A Family.

I Love European Movies And I Kind Of Grew Up On European Films.

Definitely, There's A Lot Of Trouble You Come Up Against When You're Acting And Directing, About Your Performance. Sometimes It's Hard To Be Objective About It. I Will Tend To Get Two Takes And Walk Away. I Don't Belabor It, And It's Important To Me To Have Someone Who Says, "you Know What? You Should Get Another One, And Maybe You Should Try It Like That".
