| 1 | When we go to see a film, we participate in a dialogue, one that can help us know ourselves and the world in a deeper, more beautiful way. And for me, what is beautiful is what is real. |
| 2 | If you can truly discern your character's emotional journey, you can develop a structure that is both clear and specific to your theme. Your vision will shine through in all it's uniqueness, and your story becomes accessible to others. |
| 3 | I don't teach a formula, I feel formulas are ruinous. But if I can work with an artist to think more daringly, more creatively about what it is they do, then perhaps an individual voice can awaken in an individual way. |
| 4 | A great actor lives naked on the stage or on screen, meaning that he is completely revealing of the self. Not the ego, but the self. He is intellectually, emotionally, physically free so that he is unencumbered - he is free to reveal the depth and nuance of a character's inner life. (He is) adept, surprising, revealing - in that magical state of living which is receptivity and response. I never know what he's going to do next - I relish that. |
| 5 | I don't mean fire as in "Danger!" but fire as in "Life!" I teach tools, I try to inspire creative investigation, but ultimately, the labs are a place for the director to explore what moves him. The work is to reconnect with the surprise, the shock, the delight of living. We easily become dead to the delight of living. How do we reawaken and reconnect? The artist assists us in that reawakening. |
