I Try To Shoot The First Rehearsal

Even If You Try To Copy A Film Shot By Shot, You Still Can't. It's Still Your Own Film.

I Try To Get To Know The Actors As Much As I Can. I Feel Like I'm Friends With Them For Starters And For A Week Or Two, We Rehearse When They're Getting The Costumes Together.

When You Get To Be 23, 24 Or 25, You Start To Freeze Up And Become An Adult.

Even When You're Making A Movie About Life, Death Is A Presence, And I Guess It's Part Of My Dramatic Viewpoint. I'm Not Sure Why Exactly.

A Lot Of Times, I Relied On Connections Through My Agency, Just For Financing And Things Like That. Even When I'm Looking For A Million And A Half Dollars To Do A Small Film, There Can Always Be Hold-ups, Because It's A Large Amount Of Money For Some People, And It's A Small Amount Of Money For Other People. In Any Case, It's Significant Enough To Where You Have To Jump Through A Lot Of Hoops To Get It To Happen. Sometimes, The People Who Are Helping You Can Drop The Ball. And, Of Course, The Reason Agents Want You To Do Bigger Projects Is That They Make A Bigger Cut.
