I Became A Director Just

One Hundred Percent, I Mean, Many Of The Sergio Leone Movies Were With Clint Eastwood, And That's What It Is.

Not Harder Than It Should Be, No. We're About The Business, We're About The Work. It's All About The Work, Always. We Have Fun And Laugh And There're Days That Are More Intense Than Others, But We're There To Make It Better. He's Always Going To Try And Make It Better, I'm Always Going To Try And Make It Better. So You Accept Anything, You Accept Whatever It Takes To Get It Up On The Screen And Make It Worthy.

My Experience Of Test Screenings Is That You Don't Know What Kind Of Mood People Are Going To Be In, And Sometimes The Studios Accept What Joe Blo Says - And This Guy Could Just Be A Frustrated Filmmaker, Or Not Paying Attention.

I'm A Product Of Older Filmmakers I Guess, The Past Where You Get To Make Movies And Scenes Are What They Are. You Know If You Think About Scorsese Back In The Day When He Was Making Taxi Driver, Or Coppola Or Frankenheimer, Sidney Lumet, They're Making Films Where You Witness Violence In A Real Way.

You Want To Take Yourself Seriously, And You Want To Make Something That You Hope Will Have Resonance With The Audience. You Want To Bring Your Perspective And What You Consider Your Talent To That Piece Of Work, And You Move Forward In That Direction. Sometimes That's Easy, And Sometimes It's Met With Resistance Because You're Dealing With Situations Where, For Everybody Else, It's A Piece Of Business.
