When You Have Something To

I Set Myself Challenges Every Time I Work. Ideally I Approach Everything As Though It's The First Time - With A Beginner's Mind And An Amateur's Love.

Socially, I Like The Idea Of Sitting In A Theater With A Bunch Of People.

I'm More Interested In Talking About What I Do. And I Don't Think People Are Interested In My Personal Life. I've Never Had A Hollywood Life. I've Always Been A Worker. But It's True: If You Know Something About A Person Outside Of The Movie That Is Really Repulsive To You, It's Hard To Shake. So I Prefer To Do My Speaking Through The Work. I Don't Want People To Know Anything About Me, Because That's Not Important. I'm More Interested In The Me That Takes Shape Through These Characters. The Other Stuff Is Personal And Too Easy To Trivialize Out Of Context.

I Like The Idea Of Sitting In A Theater With A Bunch Of People. With Technology Now, People Are Getting More And More Isolated. I Like The Community Coming Around The Story. You Don't Have That With A Dvd. People Go Home, They're Tired From Work, They Can Turn It Off. It Doesn't Make You Commit The Same Way, If You Can Control The Movie. More Difficult Movies, It's Too Easy To Turn Them Off. All The Time, I See Movies I Know If I Had Seen It On Dvd, I Wouldn't Have Hung With It. If You See It On The Screen, You Hang With It And It Pays Off Better Than A Movie You Can Easily Sit Through On Dvd.

It's Nice To Go Back With People That You Already Trust.
