When I Write A Film,

From The Onset Of The 'live-read' Series, We Wanted To Hit All The Major Writers And Woody Allen Is Simply One Of The Greatest Screenwriters Of All Time. He Has Ability To Match Pathos And Comedy And Drama And Then Turn It All On A Dime. If You're Going To Make A Series Based On Dialogue, You Can't Find Much Better Than Woody Allen.

Creating A Wonderful Drama Is An Art Form, While Comedy Is Just Entertainment.

I Don't Believe In Director's Cuts Where You Make Things Longer. The Coolest Thing Was When The Coen Brothers Did A Director's Cut Of 'blood Simple,' And They Made It Shorter.

I Think When You Pay Attention To The Shots, You're Aware Of The Fact That There's A Director. Really, It's The Director's Job To Disappear And Allow The Movie To Just Feel.

Too Many People Believe In That [alfred] Hitchcock Thing That He Only Shot Exactly The Shots He Needed For The Dialogue He Needed And I Think That's Bullshit, Even If That Was True For That Singular Filmmaker.
