I'm certainly getting a lot more mail... that's basically it.
From Sam Mendes
I don't think good and evil are polarized.
One movie is only one movie. I want to have a lifetime of making films.
It took me a long time to film the plastic bag, and then I had to get the cut of the scene right. But if you find it as beautiful as the character does, then suddenly it becomes a different movie, and so did he as a character.
I deliberately, in a way, went for something that was a huge challenge and was a big period film. I was excited about the canvas on which I could tell the story as much as the story itself.
I want to try and work in different genres with different types of actors, on small movies and big movies.
The movies that influenced me were movies that told their stories through pictures more than words.
There's good and bad in everybody. I wasn't looking for the good, or looking for the bad. This is a man who signed his pact with the devil 20 years ago, and he's learned to live with it. He's tried to protect his family from it.
The perceived wisdom is that people do not go in large numbers to black-and-white movies anymore - which is a great shame, but I'd love to make a black-and-white movie one day.
You freeze with the number of opportunities given to you and just decide to do nothing at all.
