The Fame And The Fame-hungry

I View Filmmaking As A Director's Medium.

If You Just Read The Book, You're Taking In The Narrative, You're Taking In The Characters, You're Understanding It In A Certain Way. If You Make A Movie It's Really An Act Of Translation.

Almost All The Movies I've Directed Are Adaptations. And I Think What I Found When I Went To Film School, Where They Try To Push You To Find Your Voice Or Your Thing, Is That I Got A Lot Of Things Out Of Adaptations.

As An Actor In The Classroom, You're Revealing So Much, And Teachers Are, You Know, They're Just Critiquing Like A Painting Or A Piece Of Work; It's Like, It's You, And It's Your Emotions That They're Working With.

A Lot Of The People In San Francisco Think Of Themselves As Healers - Not Just As People Delivering This Base Service, But Giving Their Clients Spiritual Help. It's Almost Like Being An Actor, Playing A Different Part For Each Trick.
