two twenty-somethings done
The most I've ever done was twenty-something, but that's wasn't because I wanted to. I feel like to me it's usually somewhere between two and- no, it's very hard to say because it really depends up on the shot, you know? If it's a complicated master shot and you know that this is the only thing that you're doing for that scene, a complicated one-er, you're going to maybe end up doing a few more takes than you normally would. But I'm not a big believer in doing tons and tons and tons of takes.
You gotta make the movie you want to make.
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.
acting later studied
So I went to SUNY. at Purchase, studied acting at the conservatory. Did some plays, later TV. Nothing unusual.
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.
cinematic generation hope pace slower start truly understand watch younger
I hope that a younger generation will start to watch a movie like this and start to better understand a slower pace in a truly cinematic way.
films knew period shooting shot specific
But I'd shot enough independent films as an actor, one as a director. I knew that you have to be very specific when you're shooting a period picture.
bit jobs movies parts playing variety
I had already made, like, 25 movies, playing a variety of roles, and it was a very frustrating time, ... I really couldn't get a job, and the only jobs I could get were, like, you know, these bit parts playing mobsters.
When I write a screenplay, and when I direct, I always pull lines out.
capable tremendous
He was capable of tremendous generosity, and of real cruelty,
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.
I would rather just do the things I want to do.
I like to see how I can do it for less money.
