brings character expose heart michael perfection played role soul vulnerable
I think Michael really brings the heart and the soul to this thing. The character of Coffey has to be perfection. If that role isn't perfection, if it's not played to perfection by an actor who can be vulnerable and expose his heart, I think the movie fails.
oneself pay sort
I find it doesn't pay to take oneself too seriously. And I like that sort of irreverence when I see it with other people.
gas impossible mission total
Mission Impossible 3 was actually a total gas for me. It was really fun.
direct fall love
Because I've really got to fall in love before I want to direct again. I don't want to do it just to do it.
delicate green mile tone
The tone of The Green Mile is so delicate and dramatic.

There was obviously a concern, because nobody sets out to make a three-hour movie. Nobody particularly wants that.
stories way directors
A director shouldn't get in the way of the movie, the story should.
editing style video
I've never been a big fan of the music-video style of editing movies that crept in the last few decades. I like stuff that's able to take its time.
arbitrary film length
To me, length is an artificial and arbitrary factor in a film.
