You Start As An Audience

I See Bits And Pieces Of Me In All The Characters In My Films.

I Make Movies I Want To See.

But Even With A Character Like Cary Who Is Relatively Outlandish, At The End Of The Movie He's In A Place Where I Wouldn't Have Expected Him To Be - Taking On The Responsibility Of A Woman Who Is Pregnant And Who Used To Be His Best Friend's Wife.

I Will Say That The Idea Of A Woman Being Deceptive Came From That Original Discussion With Critics And Reporters About If Woman Could Do That Kind Of Thing. Evelyn, Herself, Grew Out Of The Discussions About How Capable Women Are Of Deceit And Lying And Manipulation.

I Think The More The Actor Lets You Know What He Thinks Of The Character, The Less The Audience Cares - Like A Comedian Who Laughs At His Own Jokes.
