men good-man bananas
Ripe bananas are the mark of a good produce section. A good produce section is the mark of a superior grocery store. A superior grocery store is the mark of a good man.
movie
I never go overbudget on my movies.
style directors actors
As a film director I like to have the actors create their own close-ups. It's an older style of filmmaking.
projects wanted my-own
And I love doing my own projects; that's what I've always wanted to do.
night bigs
Big Night and The Impostors are both things that I wrote.
writing three wake-up
But usually I'll wake up and start writing about nine o'clock. I'll probably write for about three hours, and I'll do that over the next month and a half.
character use directors
I'm pretty much a character-driven film director and my movies are smaller. I don't do a lot of coverage. I use lots of master shots.
design directors doe
As a director you have to be careful you don't over-design the film. You have to be careful that the period aspect does not take over.
moving cameras
I don't like to move the camera that much anyway.
stories different wonderful
It's different if you're a painter. You can hidethe ones that don't work. You can't do that with movies. They tellthe story of who you are at the time, and that's the wonderful thingabout it.
eye cutting hands
As soon as the actor steps into the role, you probably can cut 50% of the lines because there's a person there now. And what a person does with their eyes, with their mouth, with their hands, the way they walk into a room, you can probably cut half the scene.
morning writing down-time
I write in the mornings. During my down time.
acting actors way
As a director, I also get to sit and watch actors and learn from them in a way that I don't get to do when I'm just acting.
interesting feelings our-actions
Those moments in between the moments, those are the most interesting. What's unspoken, the way we talk around things, the way our actions are inconsistent with what we're feeling, how anger and affection manifest themselves in strange ways at inappropriate times.
