Quotes
You have to establish a hole in a person's spirit, some damage from which that talent springs. They need that special motor, a fuel that pushes them to greatness, that pushes them in doing ordinary, everyday work to the extent that they become extraordinary. You have to approach film biographies in a fashion that you're doing more than a biopic. It's not a National Geographic tour through someone's life.
