I believes that directors should "infuse their works with a personal
style" and that "some scenes will be performed with strongly
preconceived ideas, while in other scenes I may attempt to go beyond
conventional wisdom, to trust an instinct and inspiration, trying to
bring us into the deepest resources of our imagination and creativity,
into a realm where the work that we are doing is actually original. I
want the actor to understand his or her character experientially,
rather than merely descriptively, connecting to the subtext of the
script, engaging a sense of belief in the character's situations, goals
and choices, allowing the character to have a subconscious, to spring
to life in the actor's imagination.
