Working Hard Is Great, Being Lazy Sometimes

I Had Been To New Mexico Many Times. I Loved It. It's A Very Exotic, Interesting, Severely Crazy Environment. I Don't Know If I Could Live There All Year. It's Such An Intense Place.

Part Of The Advantage, And Part Of The Result Of Trying To Be A Producer And Director, Are The Practical Things, You Find. It's So Advantageous To Go To A Place That You Already Have A Feel For, A Literal And Spiritual Familiarity.

I Know It's Good When I See A Smaller Film Get Recognized Because It Means More Publicity For Them. When You Start Producing And Directing The Movies Are A Little More Like Your Children.

I Tend To Turn Down Roles That Are Too Much Like Me, What I Think Is Most Like Me Anyhow, Because I'm Me All The Time And I'm Sick Of It.

Do What You Want I Don't Care. That's The Thing To Say To An Actor. Most People Don't Understand That. Not To Manipulate Them. That's What You Say To An Actor. You Got A Problem With The Whole Environment In Doing That? Fine, What Are We Going To Do To Make The Scene Work? Now You Have Someone On Your Side. Now You Have Someone Working With You.
