I Like A Drama. And I Think

You Know When You're Young And You See A Play In High School, And The Guys All Have Gray In Their Hair And They're Trying To Be Old Men And They Have No Idea What That's Like? It's Just That Stupid The Other Way Around.

In Recent Times It Just Seems That Women Have Been Relegated To Either Romantic Roles Or Fluff Pieces. So The Appeal, For Me, Is To Make A Picture About A Real Woman.

Stage Actors Are Usually Much More Conscious Of Speaking Up And Making Sure That Everyone Can Hear In The Back Of The Theatre; A Film Actor Probably Thinks Of That A Little Less. Unfortunately, There's A Style Of Acting Going Round, Especially With The Younger Actors, Where They Talk Without Even Moving Their Lip. Maybe It's Because My Hearing Probably Isn't What It Was 40 Years Ago But I'm Sitting There Going "what Did They Say"?

I'm A Firm Believer In Research, But I'm Also A Firm Believer In Utilizing The Instincts That Are Within Your Soul Or In Your Body Or In Your Stomach, Wherever They Reside.

You Definitely Do Not Do Films For That Particular Reason. You Do Them For Yourself, For Your Satisfaction Of Creating This Thing With Characters And Watching These Characters Take On Real Life - That's All You Care About.
