I Have Two Sons In

The Thing We Call Critics Are Not Really Reviewers, They Are Not Really Critics. They Don't Have The Discipline To Write What We Would Term As Critique - It's Really Just Reviewers. They Have A Common Man Kind Of Taste. If You Watch Them Overall, They Are Not Different From The Box-office. That's My View.

I Don't Like To Deal With Studios. I Don't Like To Have Conversations With Executives. I Pitch To The Studio, Then Never Talk To Them Until The Test Screening.

If You Try To Act, You're Going To Look Like You're Acting. So Don't Act.

Not Taboo - It's Just That Straight Actors Still Risk Their Careers Commercially And Economically. They Have To Please The Crowd - They're Movie Stars; Their Image Is Their Industry. It Goes Beyond Acting.

You Have To Know The Rules, Otherwise You Have No Tools To Communicate To The Audience, But To Keep It Fresh You Have To Break Some. I Don't Choose Genres As The Element, But The Material Itself Is The Element, Then I'll Decide What Genre I Need. That's Just How I Work.
