You Must Be Willing To Risk Everything

No Matter How Old You Get, If You Can Keep The Desire To Be Creative, You're Keeping The Man-child Alive.

I Have The Confidence That I Can Take Anybody And Have Them Give A Good Performance, Because I Don't Think There's Anything To Acting Except Expressing, Being Able To Converse. So If I Can Just Convince Somebody Not To Clean Themselves Up, And Not To Be Someone That They're Not, And Just Be What They Are In Given Circumstances, That's All That Acting Is To Me, And I Don't Think It's Very Difficult.

There's A Difference Between Ad-libbing And Improvising. And There's A Difference Between Not Knowing What To Do And Just Saying Something. Or Making Choices As An Actor. As A Writer Also, As A Person Who's Making A Film, As A Cameraman, Everything Is A Choice. And It Seems To Me I Don't Really Have To Direct Anyone Or Write Down That Somebody's Getting Drunk; All I Have To Do Is Say That There's A Bottle There And Put A Bottle There And Then They're Going To Get Drunk.

Film Is, To Me, Just Unimportant. But People Are Very Important.

The Camera Is The Slave To The Actor.
