I'm A Grinder. I'll Beat You Because

If I'm A Director And I Read A Script And I Say Yeah I Really Want To Do This, I Would Never Walk Away Because The Deal Wasn't Very Good - That I Wasn't Getting Paid Very Much Or That The Chances That I Would See Anything On The Back End Were Remote Because Of The Financial Waterfall And The Way It's Structured. I Would Never Use That As A Reason Not To Do Something.

I Just Produced Criminal, This Remake Of Nine Queens, And One Of The Things That Appealed To Me About Nine Queens Is That It Was A Performance Piece, And That's The Most Fun.

Maybe I'll Paint, Do Photography, Just Something Else. I Can See That.

My Experience Over The Years With Working With People Who Are Not Actors Or Not Trained Actors Is That You Have To Get To Know Them Well Enough To See What They Have That's Translatable Onto The Screen.

I'm Not A Snob. If I Feel Like There's A Star That's The Best Person For That Role, Then That's Who I Get.
