song guy hats
I'm an actor. I'm not a performer. I'm not like a song and dance guy who can take a cane and a hat and do it. I would just you know. That's why I never did commercials.
thinking music-is songwriting
I think Americana music is music that is generally more singer/songwriter oriented. It has more to do with the songwriting. The music, it's more like stories set to music.
song writing hook
My songs aren't built around choruses or hooks or anything like that. That's kind of how I write screenplays too.
song sometimes
Sometimes I have songs born out of stories.
different songwriting screenwriting
Songwriting and screenwriting aren't that different to me.
song writing player
I write songs on guitar and that's about how good of a guitar player I am. I can write songs on it.
mean talking people
If someone is talking to you and tells you that you ought to do something, and you can tell they mean it, those are the scary people. Those are the people you want to watch out for.
dialect-coach trying six-months
I always say if you're going to do a movie about Charles de Gaulle get a Frenchman, you know. I'm not French. And yeah, sure I could get with a dialect coach and work for six months trying to talk like a Frenchman. But there's some French actors. Just get one of them, you know.
mean college years
I mean the most important thing you can have as an actor, writer, director, or whatever you are, poet or whatever it is, is life experience. Life experience doesn't mean you have to live 50 years to have it. I mean you know a lot of people have huge life experience by the time they're in college.
crazy mean vampire
You know, what's popular? Okay, vampires are very popular. Let me make my vampire movie. I'm not saying you can't make a vampire movie. But if you're going to do one do something crazy. I mean don't just get a bunch of, like I said, models and make them into vampires so you'll get an audience. You know maybe get some ugly vampires for a change.
men people middle
People a lot of times say that you know it must be hard to direct yourself. That's a myth. It's easier to direct yourself. There's no middle man, you know.
years directors actors
All the actors I've worked with as a director over the years I really love and I thought they were all right for the part.
made knows south
The movies I've made about the South, they were my experience and it's something that I know.
stupid reality people
Reality shows are usually created by people doing and saying stupid things.
