You've got to work. You've got to want an audience to sit forward in their chairs sometimes, rather than sit back and be bombarded with images.
From Sam Mendes
Truly great actors carry their characters in silence with them. They communicate without words the relationships that predate the movie.
Thank God I don't live in Los Angeles. I think if you're there the whole time it just gets out of proportion and you lose touch completely with reality.
Listen, you make a big movie, you're going into the Coliseum, and people are going to give you the thumbs up or the thumbs down. And that's part of the game. It's part of the fun as well.
The characters are trapped within the lifestyle. It's about what goes on before the movie starts.
You've got to believe as a filmmaker that if a movie's good enough, it's going to survive; and if it's not, well, it won't.
You think about taking audiences on a journey.
I think with Blair Witch and The Sixth Sense, people are much more open to something that is different.
I want to inspire, and be inspired.
One of the reasons I loved working with Tom is people feel they know who he is... I think working with an actor who the audience already has a relationship with actually helps you in a film like this.
