What I Learned Is, Don't Forget Who

I Don't Think The Audience Goes And Thinks Of The Movie As A Piece Of Art - There Are Some Independent People Who May Go And Have A Higher Appreciation For Filmmaking. It Is A Great Art Form, But I Don't Think You Look At A Painting And A Movie With The Same Eye.

I Like Being In Real Environments. I Love Being In The Place That It's About - These Sets And Locations Are Characters In The Movies. Can You Imagine Breakfast At Tiffany's Shot Somewhere Else? It's Classic. Characters Are Part Of Storytelling; They're Just As Important As Everything Else.

The Violence You Witness Is Denzel Doing It And We're Taking Some Visual Effects And Doing Some Things And You See Something Happen It's Happening In Front Of You As Opposed To Cutting Away And Doing A Bunch Of Tricks. It's In Front Of You. So It's Hard Not To Make It A Hard "r" If You See A Guy Get Punched And Teeth Wind Up In Someone's Knuckles.

I Like Making Movies.
