thinking firsts
I didn't think so much of him at first. But now I get it: he's everything that I'm not.
crazy thinking tvs
The only thing that takes away from it is when they steal some music from one of my movies and put it in a TV commercial. I am not crazy about influencing TV commercials. But if I legitimately influence someone making a movie, I think that is really flattering.
thinking style want
The things that are more my own style are something that I don't really have to think about. The only time I have to think about them is if I want to force myself not to do it the way I do it.
thinking space location
I would like to do a movie in space, but I think it would be difficult to do it on location.
thinking people normal
I don't think any of us are normal people.
mean writing thinking
I don't really wanna think about themes. I wanna just think about the experience of the movie. I feel like, as soon as I reduce it to a theme, once I write that sentence, it won't be that great. I feel like there's more potential for it to mean something interesting if I'm not forcing it to mean something I've already decided.
lonely memorable thinking
There's no story if there isn't some conflict. The memorable things are usually not how pulled together everybody is. I think everybody feels lonely and trapped sometimes. I would think it's more or less the norm.
writing thinking design
I have a way of filming things and staging them and designing sets. There were times when I thought I should change my approach, but in fact, this is what I like to do. It's sort of like my handwriting as a movie director. And somewhere along the way, I think I've made the decision: I'm going to write in my own handwriting.
thinking choices support
I guess when I think about it, one of the things I like to dramatise, and what is sometimes funny, is someone coming unglued. I don't consider myself someone who is making the argument that I support these choices. I just think it can be funny.
longer
Sometimes when you're editing a movie, you have the thing that you don't expect - which is you make it longer and longer as you go along.
funds install
Now we will have the funds to install it.
great scene sure time waiting work
Every time you do a take on a movie, you're not sure if it's going to succeed. Even if you have a great cast, like we had, every scene you're kind of waiting for the release. 'Oh, yes; it happened. We got it!' There's always the possibility that it's just not going to work.
I'd never heard anything about this at all.
telling
And Hackman had really choked up when he was telling it. It was very moving.
