When someone offers me a job or a project, I always ask myself, "What does it tell me about the world?" and "Have I seen it before?" Two good questions.
Thomas BidegainI wanted to direct when I was very young. I had no idea of cinema, of who's doing what. That was my first instinct: "Okay, I want to be the boss."
Thomas BidegainDirecting, you have to put yourself in a certain state, itโs all about the energy you have and the energy you transmit to people, to the actors, to the crew. Itโs peculiar. Thereโs a Chinese saying: โThe first part that rots is the head.โ It really does. Iโve seen it.
