character want instinct
Generally my instinct is to not do biographical movies. I want to build characters and not be locked into playing a part in history.
character trying want
When I work, I really try to get absorbed in the character. Unless I want to do something playful with the camera, I'm not too worried about where the camera is or positions.
roots acting want
Acting is always at the core of my life, but I'm also excited about producing. I'm excited about directing, and I have a life in the filmmaking world, and so I want to explore all aspects of it, not just the acting, but acting is the root.
sex acting want
I'm not an anarchist any more. I still love the Sex Pistols, but I don't want to be a punk rocker all the time, but I do want to carry on exploring new forms of acting.
kids want hopefully
I just want to keep making movies that hopefully makes some kids smile.
teenager people want
As a teenager I was more of an anarchist, but now I want people to thrive and be harmonious.
want hollywood marrying-someone
It's amazing marrying someone who wants nothing to do with Hollywood.
fun want kind
I want to make all kinds of movies. I do want to make big movies that are a lot of fun to go to, but I also want to make movies that are going to stimulate some thought and maybe raise some awareness.
perfection watches want
Nobody wants to watch perfection.
depression want emotion
I cry a lot. My emotions are very close to my surface. I don't want to hold anything in so it festers and turns into pus - a pustule of emotion that explodes into a festering cesspool of depression.
people want
I want people to discover my movies, and however they choose to receive it is their business.
people trying want
I'm at the point now where I know I'm doing something right when a movie gets mixed reviews, because then I'm not in the box. I don't want to make it too easy for people and I don't want to make it too easy for myself. I want to try something unusual.
thinking issues want
With the advent of this kind of TMZ culture, it sadly seems to have infiltrated the vanguard of film commentary. I see these reviews sometimes where I think, well, you have a right to say whatever you want about my work, and I will listen whether it's good or bad and see if there's something that I might work with, but personal issues don't have a place in film commentary.
way want reinventing
I want to always find new ways of reinventing myself.
