I Think If You Watch

I'm Hoping One Day I Can Make One Really Good Film.

Cinema Really Lends Itself Well To Big, Archetypal Stories, You Know, Classic Old Stories And You Need Kind Of A Weird, Big Terrain Like The Japanese Plains For Samurai Movies Or The West. You Need That For These Giants To Walk Around.

The Kindest Thing A Director Can Do Is Look With Open Eyes At Everything.

I Like Actors Who, When You See Them On Screen, You Sense A Person, Not Just An Actor.

I Read Reviews Of Critics I Respect And Feel I Can Learn Something From. Right Now There Are A Lot Of Bottom-feeder Critics Who Just Have Access To A Computer And Don't Necessarily Have An Academic Or Cinema Background That I Can Detect, So I Tend To Ignore That And Stay With The Same Top-tier Critics That I've Come To Respect. I Like Reading A Good Review - It Doesn't Have To Be Favorable, But A Well-thought-out One - Because I Very Much Appreciate The Relationship Of Directors And Critics.
