- Is an advocate of the "method process" with regard to acting.
- I am one of the most fortunate people on earth to have collaborated with so many wonderful artists, at such an early stage of my career. I think positive energy attracts positive energy. Whether it be making a movie or putting shingles on a roof. No one makes it alone.
- A good actor is an actor who concentrates in their character, in every way. A good actor gets under the skin of their character and commits to the role, in every sense. A good actor, when playing a role, is simply living life in many tiny brilliant moments. I adore good actors.
- A lot of producers and directors feel the audience is stupid. They use fancy words and paraphrase, but the bottom line is the same. They say that you have to babysit the audience with simple plots and pointing things out in very direct manners. I find this to be very disturbing and insulting. I think of filmmaking as painting on film. Some paint with realism and some abstract. I like the abstract. The art is different for every viewer.
- I love to direct strong and passionate character driven stories. Whether it be action, drama, musicals, or whatever. It's the passion that connects me. So long as the characters have depths that dare us to peek beneath the surface, I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and dive in. If the passion doesn't exist, I'd rather grab a six pack and watch football.
- Making films about two people in love is typically very deceiving to the audience. It's a tricky thing. It's a balancing act between realism and bullshit. Between what we want and what it is. If I were directing a love scene , I'd skip the lovemaking and go straight for the "go to hell" moments between two people that have lived together for many trying years and still stay together. That's what love in a relationship is all about. Learning to accept the things we hate in ourselves and accept in our spouses , without any violins playing in the background.
