When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.

A good director is very well prepared, and knows exactly how he's going to cut the film, so the shooting is as efficient as possible.

I've always felt that, no matter where you go, people are just people.

I think acting is getting better and better.

It's not good for people to have the safety net too low... People can take care of themselves better than we allow them to.

I've studied Stanislavsky, and Mamet taught Stanislavsky, and I studied with Sanford Meisner. But the part of the method that I think is the most fruitful is the method of physical actions. It all comes down to your objective: Nothing else counts except what you want. How you feel will take care of itself.

I love metaphor the way some people love junk food.
