I've directed a film set in the '50s.
directing
Sometimes it's difficult directing yourself on film because you can't quite separate yourself from the subject.
You gotta make the movie you want to make.
acting later studied
So I went to SUNY. at Purchase, studied acting at the conservatory. Did some plays, later TV. Nothing unusual.
When I write a screenplay, and when I direct, I always pull lines out.

It's more interesting because you get to research the history of the period, and all the different aesthetic elements that make a film, particularly this film, so stunning.
capable tremendous
He was capable of tremendous generosity, and of real cruelty,
I would rather just do the things I want to do.
I like to see how I can do it for less money.
money wasting
I'm not interested in wasting money on a project.

He does things comically that most people can't do. It's very hard to do what he does. He makes it seem effortless.
