Don't get obsessed with not liking a movie.

The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes.

If you can talk brilliantly about a problem

Either you care, or you don't. There's no in-between. And if you care, then go all of the way.

It's a passion when you're doing it for other people and you're doing it for the people around you making the film and the people who are going to see the film, and the giving. When you start thinking about you doing it for some sort of self-gain, then I think it becomes an obsession. It becomes a negative experience.

Regret isn't going to get me anywhere. It's like being obsessed with something. It doesn't bring you anywhere.

Know what it is the emotional statement to convey, and use taste and judgement to help the actors give their best possible performance.
