That Hunger Of The Flesh, That Longing

I Think Romeo And Juliet Is Uplifting. That's How Much A Son Wishes To Avenge His Father. That Is How Much Two Young People Can Love Each Other.

If The Director Wishes To Print It, Then You Have A Series Of Choices, Maybe Millions Of Choices Within That Minute-and-a-half, Or 80 Seconds, Or 2 Minutes Or However Long Or Short The Take Is, You Have All Those Choices Committed To Celluloid. I Find That Absolutely Thrilling.

Working In Film, If You Work With Great Directors, You Learn That After Every Take You Must Let Go. Sitting With My Wife At The Academy Awards, We Both Let The Moment Just Go.

My Line-learning Is Very Special. I Like To Learn The Dialogue Of The Whole Film Before I Arrive.

I Love Storytelling. If You Strip All The Bits Away, What You'll Find At The Center Is A Storyteller. As I Warm To My Career And Love It More, I Have A Sense That Storytelling Is Healing, In Many Ways. You Can Reach An Audience And Heal, And By Heal, I Mean Entertain And Provoke. It's A Wonderful Life.
