Some People Will Of Course Accuse Me

Casting Is Great Fun, Except For The Business Of It. I Love The Casting Process. I Love The Editing Process. I Love Working With The Music. And Even Prep Is Very Exciting. But Once You Get There And The Clock Is Ticking, All It Is Is Stress.

What Makes Me Angry Is The Idea That People Would Be Going To A Movie Because Of What I Said About It. It Makes Me Feel, I Don't Know, Arrogant, Self-important, Self-aggrandizing, Whatever. Like I'm Being Used.

So Much Of What A Pet Is About For Us Is That It Becomes A Vessel For Yearnings, Dreams, Illusions, Hopes And So Forth. It's A Projection Of The Ultimate Innocence And Purity. That's Why It's Hard To See A Dog In Its Dogness. That's Why, When Some Harm Comes To A Dog, It's Much Harder For An Audience To Deal With That, More So Than Dealing With Harm That Comes To A Child Or Anything Human.

We Say We Embrace Humanity, But What Does That Mean? We Are All Defined By Our Limits, So To What Extent Can We Embrace All This? Because We All Contain Within Ourselves Equally The Capacity For Kindness, As Much As For Cruelty Or Evil. And The Best Of Us Are Able To Suppress Those Baser Impulses, Instincts. That's The War Within.

That Is Definitely A Misunderstanding Between Me And A Part Of My Audience. To Be Honest, I Am Often Unsettled By The Responses Some People Have Had To My Movies, And That Includes Many People Who Like Them.
