Trust your actors. That's why I work with the same actors time and time again. I encourage them to change the dialogue to achieve one thing: keep the characters honest.

You make a movie for 9k for the freedom it allows you.

Quite honestly, it's too tough to get your movies made and then also to get out there and sell them.

Actors are con men and con men are actors.

But at a certain point, you have to take your influence and find your own voice if you want to become a relevant artist.

That's my advice for indie filmmakers: Marry a supermodel.

Spielberg gave us three takes before saying anything to us. Since then, I do that, three takes, to let the actors find their rhythm.
