Remember, Pain Is Temporary; Film Is Forever.

I'm A Beatles Fan, And I Remember In The Mid-1980s, When Cds First Came Out, There Was A Sound Of Vinyl And The Sound Of The Needle On It That People Loved, And Suddenly Cds Were Threatening.

Filmmaking For Me Is Always Aiming For The Imaginary Movie And Never Achieving It.

Some Believe It Is Only Great Power That Can Hold Evil In Check, But That Is Not What I Have Found. I Found It Is The Small Everyday Deeds Of Ordinary Folk That Keep The Darkness At Bay Small Acts Of Kindness And Love.

When You're Casting A Movie And When You're Shooting A Film, The Eyes Are The Most Important Feature Of Any Performer, Really. Any Great Actor Literally Knows Exactly How To Use Their Eyes, And Even As A Filmmaker I Love Shooting Huge Close-ups Because It's Those Eyes That Mean So Much To Me.
