running kids play
The action stuff takes a long time but when you're there and you're doing it and you go into that take and you run and everything is blowing up around you and you're diving onto something it's actually incredibly thrilling and you feel like a kid again. Like a kid, who used to play and pretend all those things would happen and now they're actually happening.
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.

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.
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.
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.
