The thrill of doing 'Good People' is I love those kinds of stories, and I'm good at them, and it's wonderful to see that material given to a terrific director and a terrific cast.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love good stories; you have to have a good plot - characters which intertwine with a good plot.
A good movie makes the audience feel like they've journeyed with the characters.
I've only had good experiences with actors. Starring next to them and directing them, for the most part they're all inspiring, special people.
As long as it comes across, the characters are well-served, the stories are good, and people like it, that's it for me. I'm a happy guy.
Really, what I'm doing is an attempt to continue the best work of the people I adore: Francis Coppola and Scorsese and Robert Altman and Stanley Kubrick and those amazing directors whose work I grew up with and loved.
Directing a film was something I was yearning to do. I always wanted to see if I had the capacity to be a good storyteller.
I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.
There are definitely reasons to do certain things, but I like to stick to good director, good actor, good script.
I do a film because I like the story and I want to give life to a character - I don't necessarily have to agree with the director.
I'm drawn to a good story, really, as I hope most people are. For me, it's the story that's going to stay with you eventually, not necessarily the genre. I go to watch a film because of the story, not because it was a Western or a comedy.
