I Really Enjoy Theater. I

Being The Son Of A Filmmaker, You Are Aware Of A Career As A Director. You Don't Think Of It As Just Movies, But As A Life.

I Want My Audiences To Be As Open-minded As My Characters.

Directing Is A Reactionary Job More Than A Creation Job. The Job Is To React Whether It's Moment One, The First Time You Read The Script Or See An Article Or Read A Book Or Notice Something Happen On The Street And Have An Idea For A Movie, And It Just Continues From There On In. You're Just Reacting To Dialogue, A Performance, An Audition, A Headache, A Piece Of Furniture, A Piece Of Clothing.

Filmmaking Is Finding A Piece Of Granite And You Start To Chip Away And Then You Have The Shape Of A Head, The Shape Of The Arm, You Can See The Shape Of The Face And The Face Starts To Gather Character. You Have To Find It.

I Really Enjoy Theater. I Just Went To See 'death Of A Salesman,' And It Knocked Me On My Ass.
