people actors directors
I'm not a famous director yet, and I'm not into fame. I like to just work. As a director, as an actor, whatever people consider me is fine with me.
hate appreciate people
I hate firing people, we had to go through four crews, people are disrespectful but people do appreciate The Room and I love them all. That's why I am coming to Canada! I want to meet all my Canadian fans!
character perspective people
I really like the Chris-R scene and of course the "you are tearing me apart Lisa" scene. The reason I love the Chris-R scene is because we worked really hard to finish it. It's not just that though, it brings people together. Everyone is one the roof together by the end of the scene. You see the perspectives of the different characters. I feel like with all the connections in this scene that the room connects the entire world
two who-i-am people
One person actually asked me to marry them! Overall all they have a great respect for me and they know who I am and I am very open about it. In Los Angeles, we actually had two screenings because so many people showed up!
people cost may
The film is better for me than the sitcom. But the sitcom is like much more practical approach, if I may say that, because of the cost. Everything costs money, a lot of people don't realize that.
couple names people
Any filmmaker, big directors, and I'm not dropping any names - I actually have couple names I want to say, but I will not - we have a ratio. Each thing you repeat, my ratio is one to four.Actually some people are ratio one to 34. I know couple directors, big directors, they are just shooting over and over.
jobs people rooms
As a director, it's my job to provoke, and when people decided 'The Room' be called a phenomenon, or whatever you call it, it's fine with me.
thinking people rooms
I think The Room is something magnetic, a certain magnetism in The Room that is related to human behavior, and that's why people relate to it
nice believe people
I believe for freedom. I believe that people should express themselves the way they want, except as it does in the way that's not nice, but it is what it is.
differences people actors
Everything in The Room, we did it the same way the big studios do it. The only difference is the budget and the actors. We put an ad in Back Stage West and in return we got almost 8,000 headshots from people who wanted to be in the film. We then do a process of selection and a rehearsal process after they are selected. The process of audition is very time consuming.
people sometimes knows
When people sometimes misquote me, I don't know if they understand what I'm saying.
people would-be world
If a lot of people love each other, the world would be a better place to live.
When I was little kid, I used to want to be a rock star.
job towards
As a filmmaker and an actor, my job is to react towards people, but I want a reaction from them.
