The Notion That Acting Is

There Are Plenty Of Bad Actors And There Are Plenty Of Bad Directors. There Are Actors Who Will Always Be Bad And There Are Good Actors Who You Cry For Because They're Being Badly Directed Or The Material Isn't Good Enough.

I'm Developing The Stuff All The Time. There's A Film In My Head. I'm Imagining A Film.

There Is A Great Tradition Of Independent Filmmaking In The U.s. That I Absolutely Respect. There's Some Wonderful Stuff That Comes Out In This Country Against All The Odds.

But Actually I Make Films That I Think Are Extremely Sophisticated And Cinematic.

If A Film Or Any Piece Of Work Doesn't Entertain, It Fails - And That Is Using The Word Entertain Literally, Meaning It Holds You There And You Become Absorbed By It So That You Don't Walk Away And Get Bored And So On.
