years weather four
The L.A. weather is a lot like Taiwan's, where you don't observe four seasons, so the years can pass and you don't feel a thing.
way scene rehearsing
The way I go about a lovemaking scene is that we will talk about it during the rehearsing time.
movie thinking actors
Thinking back to those earlier days, I felt I was weak when I wasn't making movies, and then when I was, I thought I was weak as a family member.
writing scripts
When I started out, nobody gave me scripts, so I had to write.
When something possesses me, I go ahead and do it.
thinking
I like to think I'm un-categorisable,
rich fame get-rich
You can get rich or famous by doing the same thing.
romance
I'm not a romantic. In life I didn't have much experience with romance.
movie messages actors
A movie is really provocation. It's not a message, it's not a statement.
movie mistake views
Many times when you make a movie, it feels like your biggest mistake. But even if a film isn't a hit, you shouldn't view it as a mistake.
successful giving would-be
If there's something that can be formulated, regulated, give you security, then nobody would lose money. Every movie would be successful. And that's certainly not the case.
movie actors
You become the movie you are making.
thinking axes views
I think it[3D] should be used as a new artistic form, not as a gimmick, not to impress you but the existence of an environment that you view as a theatrical dramatic experience is - you don't just have the X-Y axis, you have the Z and that makes a difference. You still have the framing, you still use lenses, so most of the cinematic rules and languages still apply but I think it's a different existence.
world film authenticity
American films are less American every day, because you have to please a world audience. There's less authenticity, so it's more accessible.
