I'm not in front of the camera, they are. I encourage them; I build up as much of their confidence and ego as possible. They've got to take control; I can't act it out.

Because when you have millions of people with this kind of need for gratification, and the culture is saying that it's possible for everyone to satisfy all of their needs and desires all of the time, there are obviously going to be clashes - clashes of ego.

I love actors and I understand what has to happen within a scene. Any scene is an acting scene and actors never act alone, so there has to be an interchange. If it's a dialog scene, if it's a love scene, it doesn't matter because you need to establish a situation.

It isn't glamorous until after the film is finished, and you are at the premiere and getting your picture on the cover of magazines.

We all get paid very, very well, and we have responsibilities.

I also know what looks good before the camera, how to move the camera, and how to get a story on the screen.

As a filmmaker, "no" is not in my vocabulary. I've got to figure out a way.
