We're All Standing On The Shoulders Of

I Think There Are Only Two Times That I've Ever Ended Up Paying Somebody Their Quote. Like What They Actually Were Worth In The Marketplace.

My Working Life Is Me Doing What I Want To Do. This Is That. I've Made Movies That People Don't Go To See.

My Experience Over The Years With Working With People Who Are Not Actors Or Not Trained Actors Is That You Have To Get To Know Them Well Enough To See What They Have That's Translatable Onto The Screen. So You're Constantly Calibrating To Play To Their Strengths. And The Key Is To Never Ask Them To Do Things That Are Beyond Their Abilities Or Are Really Far Away From Who They Are At Their Core.

Everything Had Been Done Long Before I Started Making Movies. I Mean, There's Nothing That Godard Hasn't Already Done. You Can't Do A Single Thing That Godard Hasn't Already Thought Of. And So You Struggle To Do Something That Is Not Predictable.

I'm Obviously Really Opinionated, But As A Producer, You Don't Necessarily Want The Person You're Working With To Try To Impress You - You Want Them To Just Be Themselves.
