smart people shooting
I'm interested in how people shoot because I have a very specific way of shooting and I'm fascinated by the way other people shoot films, particularly if they're smart and talented.
character reality blessing
The constraints of melodrama can be a great blessing, because they demand that all the characters involved - as absurd and extreme as they may initially seem - must stay utterly rooted in their own reality, or the whole project collapses.
long stuff hospitality
I'd read Up in the Old Hotel, and I wanted to do something with Mitchell's stuff for a long time.
filmmaker practicals
The thing is, I'm a very practical filmmaker.
movie people bigs
So yes, I hope to act in other people's movies, big and small, because that's how I make my living, really.
dog character independent
[Hollywood] studios are handing out money to make independent films now, but they all want the same thing. They want the style and the deadpan delivery of RESERVOIR DOGS or FARGO and so they imitate those movies. They want PULP FICTION, but they get it all wrong! They get the detachment, but that's it. And then it's all about style, and in the end what do you learn about the characters? Nothing. You learn you wasted two hours.
change believe pieces
I didn't know you had to change diapers so often. I couldn't believe it - we must change them 10 times a day - each. So that's 20 diapers a piece a day.
mean way genius
I mean, Scorsese's a genius, and that's one way of shooting.
kids actors wanted
I wanted to be an actor when I was a kid.
someday bigger projects
I'm not saying they won't be bigger projects someday.
just-being actors dissatisfied
I was dissatisfied just being an actor.
actors firsts
I've always considered myself an actor first and foremost.
together littles might
What's great is when you're working with somebody with whom you have a connection, it's exciting because there's a shorthand and you trust each other and you have a good time together on the set and so you can go a little farther than you might normally because you're with somebody that you trust.
kids past
I was always attracted to the past as a kid.
