I Don't Want To Make Pompous, Serious

Normally, I'm A Very Controlling Director. Directors Are Controlling. It's Part Of The Job, But There's Various Degrees Of It And The Constructs I Normally Work On Are Very Controlling Constructs.

Brian Cox Is The Nicest Guy, But He's So Arrogant.

The Great Thing With Film Is That It Doesn't Have An Ego. It's Just A Film. Everybody That Makes Them Has An Ego, And The Problem With Awards And Stuff Like That Is That It Always Affects The Egos, And Everyone Gets Stained By It In Some Way. And That Can Be Fine And Very Innocent, But It Can Be Horrible As Well.

It's Interesting, The Worse Things Get In Cities, The Tougher That Cities Get, The More Brutal The Humor Is. The Tougher Things People Face, The Darker The Sense Of Humor Gets And I Find That Incredibly Optimistic.
