women
I think, really, what I'm interested in is whole women, real people.
distrust fear feeling might motivated quickly
Fear is the enemy. I distrust it. Any feeling or decision I make that might be motivated by fear I quickly reassess.
artist nature
I think any artist is a perfectionist by their nature.
doctor extension female fully male narrative purpose script secretary serves sort terms whether
Often, I'll read a script and the female character's an extension or serves some sort of purpose in terms of the male character's narrative and it just isn't fully formed. But they will be very beautiful. Whether a secretary or a doctor or a vet, they will be very beautiful.
incredibly intensity maybe
Maybe I've just been incredibly fortunate, but there's a level of dedication, devotion, intensity and seriousness around me every day.
Sometimes I can think of nothing more blissful than going to Berkeley and reading Byron for three years.
good work
I have no interest in doing anything other than good work.
behind dust people physical
People are fascinating. They're so unique and I think what's more fascinating is the reason behind the physical characteristic, the enigma, that's where the gold dust is.
I'm an artist; affirmation is like catnip to me.
extremely lives traumatic
Puberty is an extremely traumatic process even if you don't realize it. It kind of lives with you for like 10 years.
along happening kept looked screen
When I was little, I would always try and look into the television screen along the sides. I kept thinking if you looked in there, you could see what was happening off camera.
roles care outcomes
In my case, when you dive into a role, to do well and for you to do well in it, you have to put an enormous amount of faith in the director. But you also have to decide you're so interested in the material, this director, his work, and his process, that you don't care about the outcome.
book writing mean
A lot of films that have been adapted from books stop serving you because they become different. I mean, they are different entities in themselves, but artistically, what you're trying to achieve with a film is so very different to what you're trying to achieve with a book, and the way when you write a script is so very different on paper to how it seems on a screen.
real believe fighting
Politically, I thought [Margaret Thatcher] stank. I think she had a real fight on her hands to get where she got, but I don't believe that her conviction was for the greater good.
