I take real people and put them in extraordinary situations.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I'm very real as a person, and that comes across in my work.
I love people who are real.
I'm an ordinary person under extraordinary circumstances.
I act for the reality, for the moment, and most of all I do it for the process.
The people I write are real to me, and basically, they tell me about their environments on a need-to-know basis.
You have an audience that is fairly well grounded in the real world. You serve them and yourself best by making everything as real as possible.
I live a very real life.
Real people - the interesting ones, anyway - don't remain static, and neither do the ones I write about. Changes take place, and they react to them.
I treat all my characters as if they were real, and I am scrupulous about the details of their lives.
When I cast great actors, I try to make extraordinary people ordinary, dealing with these extremely small intimate details of interpersonal relationships against an epic backdrop.
