It's such a delicate business, the structure of film, isn't it? What happens if a scene is not there but two minutes later? It's an eternal, never-ending search, actually, which is very exciting. It really is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Film can be exciting, but more often, it's tedious.
I've done almost 20 films and I still worry about not finding the next one.
Once a film is made and it exists, someone somewhere is going to watch it and that is kind of the magic of it all.
I don't believe moviegoers don't have patience. Screenwriters are told a scene can't be longer than three minutes, that you have to cut to the chase. Not true!
The great thing about film is you start and finish. It's a journey that lasts so long, TV lasts a long time.
Some scenes comes together really quickly, and some scenes are disasters that take forever. But it sort of works itself out over time.
I don't know why people are so obsessed with finding out stuff before the movie comes out. It's so much more fun to just go. I mean, I don't do that. I don't go looking for stuff that I'm interested in, you know, to try and find out pictures and what the movie's about. It's so much more fun to be surprised.
There is so much to do on a film set. It is an extraordinarily invigorating and wonderful place to be, when things are running well.
When you see a finished film, it's very rare that it exceeds your expectations.
Well, you'll find the most boring part of it is the waiting, at least if it's in films anyway. Television's a lot faster, but the product... I don't think it's as good as a film.
