I Play Piano And Trumpet.

Each Film Is Different. Time Code Was Very Quick - A Matter Of Months. Miss Julie Has Been On My Shelf As A Script For Some Seven Or Eight Years. But Then The Shooting Process Was Very Quick - 16 Days.

I Never Had Any Urge Or Desire To Do Like A Big Spectacular Movie With Thousands And Thousands Of Extras. I'd Rather Watch Paint Drying. But Put Me In A Room With Three People Having A Hard Time, Like A Character Situation, And Then You're Into A Really Intense Portraiture Kind Of Concept.

You Make Sure That There's A Structure That's Interesting For Them To Play On Top Of, Then Do Temp Versions And Try It On The Film. By The Time The Players Come To The Recording Session, I've Found What Works. So I'm Not Wasting Their Time.

Films Take Up So Much Time, And With Theatre, You Do Have To Plan A Period Of Time That You Can Be Free.

I Would Certainly Say That Films Like Time Code And The Loss Of Sexual Innocence Were Far More Rewarding To Me In Terms Of Being Able To Move Forward As A Filmmaker.
