I think you get better at staring into space. Especially living in the South of France.

It's the sort of subject that always interests me: jealousy and the language of suspicion and guilt. I think it interests people.
real book thinking
What I think is interesting is that the more you do, you have to invent a book of rules of what you can do and what you can't do. And the very real danger is that if your book of rules becomes a book of cliches.
thinking firsts facts
Well, I think just the fact that you are making your first film is a huge step.
thinking fool actors
If you are prepared to make a fool of yourself for them then you usually get that back. I think that there are points where you become so close to an actor, you know them so well, almost as well or better than their spouse. You have to know them, warts and all.

I feel a little schizophrenic because my life is so totally different from here, obviously. And the French values are so different from American values.
jealousy emotion sexuality
Obviously, in dealing with a relationship, sexuality has to be involved, and jealousy and emotions like that. And I don't know, I've always been intrigued by those emotions.

Their every instinct - and I have to say this is without exception - is to iron out the bumps, and It's always the bumps that are the most interesting stuff.
months film
I was speaking to Ridley Scott the other day and he makes a film every 18 months. He's amazing really.
book ideas trying
Always, with any movie that I do, I have a book of ideas that I've heard, or seen, or whatever, and I always try to incorporate it in the film.
