The Delineation Between The Actor

If I'm Ever Working On A Set And Anyone Talks About A Master Shot, I Say There Is No Master Shot. Before I Even Went To Film School, I Learned About Movies By Being In A British Feature Film, Where Everything Was Shot Master Shot, Mid-shot, Close-up. But I Reject The Idea Of A Master Shot. You Don't Shoot Everything Mechanically; You Find Imaginative Ways That Serve The Action.

I've Long Since Stopped Worrying About How I'm Portrayed In The Press Because Ultimately It's Not That Important. Everyone Who Knows Me Knows I Do What I Do With The Greatest Integrity.

My Job Apart From Anything Else Is To Build An Ensemble Composed Of Actors Who All Come From A Secure Place So That They Can All Work Together To Make The Film.

My Work Requires Acting At Its Most Committed - It Demands Actors Of Enormous Resilience, But Also Intelligence And Wit. It Doesn't Work For Narcissistic Or Selfish Actors.

Some Of My Favorite Movies Are Hollywood Movies. Hollywood Is Part Of The Cinematic Spectrum. I Nurture A Healthy Love-hate Relationship With Hollywood.
