character play people
Every character, no matter who you play, at times is pretending to be somebody else. People have a public face and a private face.
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.
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.
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.
directed
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.
elements history
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.
