Neil Jordan quotes about
filmmaking
For me, the filmmaking has to be about the dramaturgy.
directors certain situation
But everyone gets burnt, don't they? Certain things are outside of your control. I suppose the only thing you can learn as a director is to not put yourself into situations where it can get outside of your control. And that's what happened.
nice long hollywood
It's nice to work with Hollywood because there is never any question of resources put at your disposal to make a film as long as it is the right thing to do.
fairy-tale tales wells
Well, Company of Wolves was about that literally, about fairy tales.
nice writing select
For me now, it's about what you would write and what you wouldn't write, and that's how I select what I am going to do. It can be quite nice being brought a concept by a studio for me to work on.
american-movie wells comfortable
I'm less comfortable making American movies because I don't know them so well.
