thinking people complicated
People think fame and money will bring you happiness. Fame actually makes life, especially human relationships, much more complicated.
thinking hands interesting
It's interesting because you feel on the one hand, we understand people from what the say, and in another sense, you'd think that you'd be able to convey more through dialogue.
thinking attention doe
I think you have to be fair with one another. It's unfortunate when someone does something that's not authentic, or not there for any reason other than to draw attention.
jobs thinking new-job
The normal routine is always the same thing whether it's on a new movie or a new job - there's always a process of getting to know one another. I think part of what makes movies special is that it is a relatively intimate environment and it's pretty short-lived - you get to know one another very quickly.
thinking special-you avant-garde
What guides me is to do work that's more avant-garde - things that I think are special. You can easily become a celebrity and get caught up in all that blur. I just want to work and surprise myself.
changes character connection fall improvement lead likely love woman
When you're the one character that changes dramatically in the movie ... it better be a change for the better. I think it's an improvement on the past. It's a more likely relationship. A screenwriter would fall in love with the woman he's writing for, his lead actress. I think there wasn't really enough of a love connection on the first one.
advertising elements essential movies people reading stories whether
I think people go to movies and they know too much about the movie before they go into it, whether it's the advertising or they're reading too many stories about it. And they know all the essential elements of the film before they even go into it. And I think that sabotages a thriller.
beautiful girl humor lighter relationship
I'd like to do, you know, a lighter film with a beautiful girl and an interesting relationship developing. Humor and slapstick. It's all gravy.
asked movies studio
One thing I'm now asked is 'Oh, you're changing, you're now doing studio movies',
agreed braces entire knew ripped
So for the entire movie I had braces. I never knew what braces were like and I didn't know they ripped them off with pliers at the end, but I agreed to do that.
certain course experience forces happening oppressive powerless relevant
Of course I think it's relevant to what is happening today, ... We experience a lot of oppressive forces and we're powerless to a certain extent.
create giant gorilla nuances peter
What Peter and Fran and Philippa have been able to do is create all of these nuances that never existed. It's not just a giant gorilla and a damsel in distress.
prosthetic
They wanted to give me prosthetic braces, but I said, 'No, let's get real ones',
gay establishment not-afraid
Obviously I'm not there to pick up anybody, but I'm not afraid to hang out in a predominantly gay establishment.
