All human interaction, you can break it down to incentives. All relationships, at some level, are transactional. They're fascinated with incentives.

The traditional models for success are just also disappearing.

My experience over the years with working with people who are not actors or not trained actors is that you have to get to know them well enough to see what they have that's translatable onto the screen. So you're constantly calibrating to play to their strengths. And the key is to never ask them to do things that are beyond their abilities or are really far away from who they are at their core.

You can't get good at anything unless you do it day in and day out, over and over.

The art model of problem solving is incredibly efficient because ideology has no place there.There's only the thing and what the thing needs to be.

There's a big difference between a movie about relationships and a movie in which people talk about relationships. It seems like a lot of people have confused the two.
