love structural structure works wrote
I love the three-act theory. It works and works beautifully. But you don't necessarily have to structure a story that way: Cortazar and Borges wrote in different structural styles.
answer create debate directors generate good work
Good directors don't answer questions with their work. They generate debate and create discussion.
adding affected becoming bit work
I'm overwhelmed by the pain in the world; I'm affected by the news very much, and adding that to my work was becoming a little bit too much.
artistic arts class corporate films instead interest kids master pushed successful visual work
You have kids studying master class visual arts who are pushed to make films that will be successful economically; that's what they focus on. So they work for corporate interest instead of artistic expression.
bubble built high incredible work
That incredible bubble and high expectations built at festivals can work against a film.
hard work
It's hard for me to work for somebody else. I can work with someone, but not for someone.
people work worked
I know how to work with people. I've worked with the same people for 10 years. I'm not that kind of auteur. I hear ideas.
prize work worse
On a transcendental level, a film is not going to be better or worse because there's a prize behind it. The work will be what it is, with or without a prize.
above deal great tool work
Irony is a great tool to deal with things. It's an intellectualization, a way to go above things, which can work.
director music
I see only one requirement you have to have to be a director or any kind of artist: rhythm. Rhythm, for me, is everything. Without rhythm, there's no music. Without rhythm, there's no cinema. Without rhythm, there's no architecture.
art images
The way I put together images is a reactive art.
needed vulgarity
'Biutiful' is a tough film. It doesn't make concessions to the vulgarity of light entertainment. It's not the kind of film that you see every day in the Cineplex. But as an artist, it's the thing that I needed to do.
period piece truly
I've never done a period piece or a comedy, and that could be something truly different for me.
learned lose smile teaches
I've learned to lose with a smile on my face. That's what the Oscar teaches you.
