I often make films about subjects I don't really know much about. Maybe it's laziness, but I don't go in there having done a tonne of research; the research happens while I'm making the film.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are people who don't like to use other films as research, but I love it.
People ask me how I do research for my science fiction. The answer is, I never do any research.
I don't read anything about my movies before or after I do films, or any part of show business. I think that keeps me in a kind of place where I can do the work that I need to do.
I actually didn't really start to get into the research of film until I was much older. I decided I wanted to direct a lot earlier than I started to do the research, which is really strange, but it is the case.
I only make movies that are interesting to me.
When I don't have a movie, I don't take a job just for the sake of working. I just sit it out until I find something I'm passionate about.
I love making films, and as long as I love the subject, I just have a crazy amount of passion and energy for the project.
I enjoy doing things that involve research because it's part of what I enjoy about acting.
I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.
I usually don't have to do a lot of research in my work, as I'm writing about something I'm already familiar with.
