interesting want film
I just want to make films that are personal, but interesting to an audience.
ideas trying want
If somebody asks me about the themes of something I'm working on, I never have any idea what the themes are. . . . Somebody tells me the themes later. I sort of try to avoid developing themes. I want to just keep it a little bit more abstract. But then, what ends up happening is, they say, 'Well, I see a lot here that you did before, and it's connected to this other movie you did,' and . . . that almost seems like something I don't quite choose. It chooses me.
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.
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.
becomes believe crush fantasy fifth giant swept
When you're 11 or 12 years old, you can get so swept up in a book that you start to believe that the fantasy is reality. I think when you have a giant crush when you're in fifth grade, it becomes your whole world. It's like being underwater; everything is different.
force half meaning next within work
Over half of our work force is over 45, meaning within the next 20 years, they'll be gone.
littles doe kind
I don't know what is in store for the movie business any better than anybody else does, but it does seem like my kind of movies are a little trickier than it used to be - or maybe a lot trickier.
children perfect people
My experience with casting children is that... the whole movie is going to rest on their shoulders, so you have to set aside time and wait for the perfect people to appear.
ideas together ingredients
When I see the first dailies on any movie, I usually feel that I had no idea how this combination of ingredients was going to mix together, what it was going to produce.
kids make-you-happy
Kids are always open to anything. It's very rare that a kid isn't extremely eager to make you happy.
