You know, actors are fans, too. And talent is very attractive to me.

Dogs do have feelings. I gather.

Nothing makes an actor feel freer and more inventive and more creative than being trusted.

It was all completely incomprehensible to me. I was fearful of the language. You had to look up every third word.

I like variety, which is frustrating. But I've always been picky. I was afraid Pirates would be too much like Twentieth Century, broad comedy. But my agent talked me into it. I was spoiled by the range of a repertory theater.

Well, the whole trick to doing an independent film, is to keep great pace and momentum. You're shooting maybe three times as many scenes in one day that you would on a big, luxurious budget on a luxurious schedule, and you try not to sacrifice quality for that. Things are just compressed, but essentially the same.

Just because you're not sweating doesn't mean you're not putting in the work.
