Life Is An Occasion...rise To

I'd Like To Thank My Parents For Not Practicing Birth Control.

We're Not Allowed In The Cutting Room - And That's Extraordinary. So, When A Director Is Asking For Certain Nuances And Colours And We Feel That They're Phoney, But We Do It Because The Director Asks For It, That's The One That They Pick In The Cutting Room. And I Contend That When You See A Movie With Bad Acting, Don't Blame The Actor... Blame Those Guys In The Cutting Room Because They Like That Take.

You Go To The Cinema And You Realize You're Watching The Third Act. There Is No First Or Second Act. There Is This Massive Film-making Where You Spend This Incredible Amount Of Money And Play Right To The Demographic. You Can Tell How Much Money The Film Is Going To Make By How It Does On The First Weekend. The Whole Culture Is In The Crap House. It's Not Just True In The Movies, It's Also True In The Theater.

I Stopped Working A Few Years Ago Because I Just Lost A Spark That I'd Had Before. I Thought I'd Just Try Writing, And Maybe Start Directing, But I Did It Very Quietly.

Life Is An Occasion...rise To It.
