All I know is that I operate by going out to each of them and trying to learn the territory in which they operate. My language to each of them has to suit their brain.
From Sam Mendes
For me, certain shots or scenes are keys in the movie.
It's a risk casting anyone against type or what they're known to do. But there's one thing better than having a great actor, which is having a great actor who's never done what you're asking him to do. He's hungry to get out of the trailer every day and hungry to test himself.
Actors get pigeonholed very quickly, particularly movie actors. In the theater, one is more used to casting people against type and trusting that their talent and skill will get them through.
When I drive through a field, I want to see green grass sometimes, and I don't want to see black and white.
If you lived through the shooting of Jaws, you can live through anything.
