Every Movie I Make. That’s

I Don't Have A Checklist. Whatever Material Excites Me, They'll Call For A Certain Genre Or Combination Of Genres. It'll Come Naturally And I'll Be Eager To Learn How That Thing Works. I Learn The Rules, And I'll Probably Break Some Of Them.

When You Go For Something Because You're Curious About It, You Get Psyched Up About The Chance Of Getting Into It. It's Like An Actor Meets A Role, And You Slip Into That Body And See What Happens, To Experience Certain Conditions, To Adopt A Certain Character. Even Shooting Is A Study Of The Character. I Think Both The Character And The Actor, And Eventually The Filmmaker - Myself - Are Finding A Way To Accept Their Environment And Being Accepted And Feel Comfortable Of Themselves.

That Might Be The Magic, But All I Did Is Not So Much Interpreted, But Try My Best To Keep Everybody Still Staying In The Movie. And I Was Like, ‘god, It’s So Hard To Do.’ I Make Movies For A Long Time. It Doesn't Get Easier.
