The Subject Of An Outsider Who Becomes

When I See The First Dailies On Any Movie, I Usually Feel That I Had No Idea How This Combination Of Ingredients Was Going To Mix Together, What It Was Going To Produce.

I Chose Philosophy Because It Sounded Like Something I Ought To Be Interested In. I Didn't Know Anything About It, I Didn't Even Know What It Was Talking About. What I Really Spent My Time Doing In Those Years Was Writing Short Stories. There Were All Sorts Of Interesting Courses, But What I Really Wanted To Do Was Make Stories One Way Or Another.

I Just Want To Make Films That Are Personal, But Interesting To An Audience.

It's Not Usually That Great Of An Idea To Read Lots Of Reviews Of Your Movies, Because Even If Somebody's Saying Nice Things, There'll Still Be Something In There That Pushes The Wrong Button, And It's Not Really That Helpful.

When You're Doing A Live-action Movie, You Have Your Day Set Up And You're Going To Do This Shot And This Shot, And Eventually The Sun Is Going To Go Down. It's A Sequential Race To Whatever Is Going To End The Day.
