I'm fighting against my will to control. I think that is what I am doing. I would like to accept things in life, in all matters of life I would like to accept, but it's so difficult. I think we all have this struggle.

Even if you feel all right, tell the actors you don't have full power, and they will help you.

It is more difficult to manipulate with film than, for instance, video. The problem with video is that it gives you a thousand possibilities.

A film should be like a rock in the shoe.
