editing editors ideas
There's this kind of incredibly mistaken idea that because it's so much cheaper to roll the camera than it used to be and it's so much easier to accumulate a ton of footage, that then you can just go shoot a ton of footage and the editor will make sense out of it. But if you don't have something deliberate made, you're not gonna save it in the editing room.
smarter
I thought I was so much smarter than everybody. And I'm not.
sleep kids house
I remember being a kid and sleeping over at my friend's house and staying up late and watching 'Nosferatu.' Vampire movies are supposed to be secret and bad. They should be rated R.
cutting together roles
I always felt that a marriage works best at a farm... where you're together and everybody has clear-cut roles; they have chores, 'you take care of this' and you know. But it's hard.
ideas editing want
The idea that a film is created in the editing room - it's only a certain kind of movie that's made in the editing room and it's not one that I really want to see.
jobs real stories
'Brooklyn's Finest,' this is the kind of movie that's why I want to be an actor, to tell real-life stories. This is where I feel my job is, to interpret life.
lying choices have-faith
I'd be lying if I said I had confidence in every choice I've made, that I have faith in every film I do on every shot.
falling-in-love people want
Right now the only people I can really fall in love with are people who don't really, truly want me around. Now why do I do that?
inspiration opportunity giving
If you don't give inspiration an opportunity, it will never arrive.
important moments finite
Everything is so finite but that’s what makes our time and specific moments so important.
knowing life-is finite
There's something about knowing life is finite that makes it so precious.
art dying trying
The Woodstock Film festival is among the finest of a dying breed: a festival that isn't trying to sell you anything, but simply and beautifully celebrating the art & craft of filmmaking.
father men trying
The biggest problem in my life is trying to be the kind of man that I want to be, the father that I want to be, and how to process the failure of my marriage.
people excellence lazy
It is quite rare to find people who are really dedicated to a level of excellence. Most of us are really quite lazy most of the time.
