In My View, The Operas

There Were Movies That Always Made Me Want To Be A Director. You See Brilliant Scenes And The Way The Emotions Were Handled. I Thought, I'd Really Like To Do That.

When I Was 24 I Went To Nigeria And It Was Such A Culture Shock, Growing Up In Australia And Suddenly Being The Only White Man In This Unit Full Of Black Men.

At Hbo, They Seem To Be Well-informed. They Make What I Think Are Really Quite Mature Films.

It's Not Enough To Hit The Notes. There Is No Point In The Singers Just Standing There And Sounding Wonderful If They're Not Connecting With The Characters They Are Portraying.

Directing An Opera Is Similar To Directing A Play. The Singing Must Not Get In The Way Of The Drama.
