I Think If Something Resonates, Even If

You Spend Most Of Your Time As A Director Trying To Move Forward With The Movie. It Happens On A Daily Basis, If Not More Than Once A Day, That You Are Struggling With Budgetary Constraints. Whereas When You're Writing, The Limitation That You Have Is Your Imagination. So It's Decidedly Non-pragmatic.

I'm Old Enough, By A Long Shot, To Remember Going To The Library And Spending Days Researching. If I Was Looking For A Line From A Poem Or Something Else I Needed, That Would Be The Trip I Would Have To Take.

I've Kind Of Come To The Conclusion That What Passes For Realism In Movies Has Nothing To Do With Reality And That My Stuff Is More Realistic Than That.

I Do Like Escapism. I Like Going To The Movies On A Friday Night And Seeing Something Fun.

I Spend A Lot Of Time In Preproduction Working With Authors, And A Lot Of Time In Postproduction.: Editing, Music, All That Sort Of Stuff. Casting. On The Set There's Not A Lot For Me To Do.
