I began to feel that, in a sense, we were all prisoners of our own history.
I don't really say much about reviewers. It's a very tough job to get all of the depth of a movie all at once.
Good directing is about getting the performance to be just what's right for the movie.
I've never wanted to do something where I'd berate the audience.
The actor is concerned with his own bit of it, but the director's somehow trying to work the whole thing into a much bigger picture. It's like conducting an orchestra.
I try to address my audiences intelligently. The man in the street counts, but sometimes he forgets that he counts.
