“You experience the films through the actors, so they're all locked into your imagination in some kind of layer of fantasy or hatred or wherever they settle into your imagination.”

I always think, when there's stuff that people don't like, I always say that if I have another success, I'll enjoy it more, but you don't really.
Actors are steeped in a world of agents and where the next job is coming from and what are their expenses and what is the hotel like. You want to take them out of that world and dump them into another world, so that when you meet them on the screen they don't seem like the guy who was in two others movies that year.
I've sort of escaped my background, as people often do, through art and culture.
I love huge movies. Not sure I am the guy to make them, but you can rely on me being there watching them.
