Optimism Is A Revolutionary Act

That's How I Am As A Director - If Somebody Does A Really Good Take, I Can't Help It, I'm Not Even Aware Of It. Actors Really, Really Need Positive Reinforcement.

Conception Of A Film Starts With The Music. Always. I Hear The Movie Before I Can Ever Write It. I Would Say That 80% Of The Time, That's The Successful Stuff. It's The Other Stuff I Have To Work For To Get Right, And Sometimes It Doesn't Work Out, But The Music Is Always The Beginning. So I'm Still A Music Journalist.

I Always Tell The Girls Never Take It Seriously, If You Never Take It Seriously You Never Get Hurt, If You Never Get Hurt You Always Have Fun, And If You Ever Get Lonely Just Go To The Record Store And Visit Your Friends.

I Try And Direct Environmentally . So That People Don't Feel Like Everything Is Going To Depend On What Happens When Someone Says, 'action'. So That They Can Literally Be Swimming In The Warm Water And At Some Point The Race Begins, And At Some Point The Race Ends, But It Is About Being Free To Swim.

If You Try To Write Something That's Memorable, You'll Never Get It. Sometimes It's The Way The Actor Says The Words That Make It Memorable.
