You've Got To Protect Whatever Creative Talent

I Don't Really See A Conflict Between The Church And The Movies, The Sacred And The Profane...there Are Major Differences, But I Could Also See Great Similarities...both Are Places For People To Come Together And Share.

Now More Than Ever We Need To Talk To Each Other, To Listen To Each Other And Understand How We See The World, And Cinema Is The Best Medium For Doing This.

I Think If You Think Of Yourself As Religious And If You're Given A Gift, Some May Not Think It's That Great A Gift - Some Critics. But Others Might, You Know. So You Say, Look - Whether It's Good, Bad Or Indifferent, This Is What I Do.

I Do Know That Some Buddhists Are Able To Attain Peace Of Mind.

I Do Prefer Doing More Takes. There's Something Very Organic That Comes From The First Take, But Certain Things Come Out. More Details Come Out, In The Way Another Actor Says Something. It's Always This Investigative Process. You Come Further And Further To The Truth, The More You Escalate. I Like To Do A Lot Of Takes. I Have A Hunger For It. I Like To See What There Is To Discover In A Scene, That Hasn't Been Thought Of.
