One Thing I Want To Say: I

I Love Working With Actors. I Do.

I Don't Make Movies With The Idea That People Are Going To Walk Out Of Them Feeling Comfortable Or Better About Themselves Or More Secure In Their Own Biases Or Opinions.

Some People See Me As Dissecting My Characters In Some Kind Of Heartless, Coldblooded, Analytical Way, When In Truth Making These Movies Is A Passionate, Intensely Emotional Experience For Me. I'm Detached From The Characters Only To The Degree That I Have To Be In Order To Write Honestly About Them.

Part Of It Has To Do With This Business Of Being Approached In Public. I Have A Distinctive Look - It's Partly The Glasses I Wear - And People Seem To Remember Me Once They've Seen Me.

Some Directors Hardly Talk To The Actors At All.
