jobs thinking new-job
The normal routine is always the same thing whether it's on a new movie or a new job - there's always a process of getting to know one another. I think part of what makes movies special is that it is a relatively intimate environment and it's pretty short-lived - you get to know one another very quickly.
appreciate people support
It's great when people appreciate your work, but I don't know how seriously to take it. The amazing thing is that I found something so early that I can support myself doing, and that can even be extremely lucrative, but I love it either way.
would-be boring earnest
It would be terribly boring to be earnest.
actors
I always had an actor within me.
thinking special-you avant-garde
What guides me is to do work that's more avant-garde - things that I think are special. You can easily become a celebrity and get caught up in all that blur. I just want to work and surprise myself.

mean issues village

How the governing body of a town, or a nation, controls us through fear. They might mean well by it, but we are conditioned to be afraid of things. Fear of the unknown. Fear of terrorism. And it's unfortunate.

You'd be surprised how difficult it is relinquish a cell phone
beautiful girl humor lighter relationship
I'd like to do, you know, a lighter film with a beautiful girl and an interesting relationship developing. Humor and slapstick. It's all gravy.
create giant gorilla nuances peter
What Peter and Fran and Philippa have been able to do is create all of these nuances that never existed. It's not just a giant gorilla and a damsel in distress.

One thing I'm now asked is 'Oh, you're changing, you're now doing studio movies',
