hate moving cutting
I hate movies that take a long time to shoot or directors that labor over every shot or do excessive amounts of coverage and excessive takes and don't keep things moving or constantly cutting.
encouragement cutting lines
I'm actually one who will encourage directors to cut my lines.
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.
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.
hard people seem
He does things comically that most people can't do. It's very hard to do what he does. He makes it seem effortless.
