There Is Nothing In This

I Love More Than Anything Looking At A Movie Scene By Scene And Seeing The Intention Behind It.

Actors Become Actors Because They Loved Entertaining Their Family By Putting On The Lampshade And Dancing Around As A Kid, ... That's Not My Personality. For Me, The Fun Part Of Making Movies Is Seeing It As A Director Sees It. I Like The Architecture Of Movies. I Like Knowing What's Coming And Working To Set That Up.

Every Movie Changes You. The Process Of Making A Film Changes You. You Have To Be Obsessed, You Have To Get Up At 3 In The Morning And Go "wait, I Have An Idea!" You Have To Continually Be Drawn Over And Over Again To Deepening Inside That Story, And Ruminating Over Questions: "why Would He Say This To Her? Why If He Was Standing There, Would She Go?" Every One Of Those Answers Has To Come From Some Personal Place, And In Order To Do That, You Can't Sit On The Surface. It's Such A Big Change That You Can't Really Explain It To Anyone Else.

With 'taxi Driver,' I Had This Eureka Moment. I Realized That Acting Could Be Much More Than What I Had Been Doing. I Had To Build A Character That Wasn't Me.

Knowing What Paint A Painter Uses Or Having An Understanding Of Where He Was In The History Of Where He Came From Doesn't Hurt Your Appreciation Of The Painting.
