When I Finish A Movie, I Don’t

I Have My Set Rigged With The Biggest Sound System Possible And Have A Mini Jack For My Ipod Attached To My Director's Chair. I Find Playing Music Is A Very Direct Way To Communicate With Actors And The Crew, Especially Those Crew Members Who Are On The Periphery Of The Set. I Like Dancing On Set Too, It's A Good Way To Release Tension.

Historically, There Is A Fight Between The Sound Designer And The Composer. You See Them In The Mixing Room And They're Always Fighting Because The Composer Wants The Music To Be Heard And The Sound Designer Wants The Sound To Be Heard.

I Love That Process In Which There Is No Safety Net. Then The Actor Also Can Allow Mistakes, Because There's No Such A Thing As A Mistake. You're Working With Good Actors, That Thing That Starts As A Mistake Becomes Actually The Life Of What Is Going To Follow In The Scene. I Find That It Is Fantastic, And For Me It Is Easier Than For The Actors.

I Have This Thing That, Once I Finish A Movie, I Never See It Again.

As A Kid, I Wanted To Be An Astronaut. And My Own Passion Was That I Wanted To Be A Film Director. I Realized That Being An Astronaut Was Not Going To Be An Option, So I Said, "well, I'm Going To Be A Director And Do Films In Space."
