I Play Around With Human Things, Human

Different Reactions While Film Test Screening Doesn't Mean Even The Audience Thinks Ambiguity Is A Bad Thing. But If You're Asking Them Right Away To Start Checking Things Off, They Don't Know What To Do. I Think At Their Best, It Applies To When The Audience Knows What It Is. Then, When They Say, "oh, Well, I Thought It Was Too Boring In Blah-blah-blah Part," Then You Better Pay Attention To It. It's Like Going For The Hamburger. Better Be The Good Hamburger I Went For.

I'm Emotionally Invested In Every Movie That I Do, Period, Because You've Got To Make That Commitment. You're Spending A Year, 18 Months Of Your Life Doing It. I'm Invested In All Those Kinds Of Pieces. Most Of The Films I've Had In My Career Have Never Tested Well. I Got Lucky That Sometimes I Got Supported By Studios - Or, At Least If Not Supported, Tolerated.

I Do Know When You Look At Some Ballplayer And All Of A Sudden He Is The Size Of A Truck Something Is Wrong.

You Do Understand That You Can't Force The Situation, But In Terms Of How You Edit, You Can Define That To Take The Audience Along, Whether It Be A Storyline Or A Character Moment That We Can Play Out. The More Experience You've Had, The More Beneficial It Is, Period.

I Worked At A Local Television Station And I Got A Chance To Direct And Do All Those Things - Worked Kiddie Shows, Ranger House Show With The Hand Puppets And Things Like That.
