nice believe people
I believe for freedom. I believe that people should express themselves the way they want, except as it does in the way that's not nice, but it is what it is.
drama comedy
You cannot have the drama without comedy.
differences people actors
Everything in The Room, we did it the same way the big studios do it. The only difference is the budget and the actors. We put an ad in Back Stage West and in return we got almost 8,000 headshots from people who wanted to be in the film. We then do a process of selection and a rehearsal process after they are selected. The process of audition is very time consuming.
criticize
I'm not here to criticize anyone.
actors directors realism
As a director, I have to feel realism from actors, and they can't be plastic.
simple guy simple-guy
I'm not a god, I'm just a simple guy.
etc example citizens
I like a lot of classic movies, like, for example, 'Citizen Kane', James Dean movies, etc, etc.
acting knows
I like acting better than anything else, but, you know, directing's good.
want way rooms
I'm satisfied with the way 'The Room' turned out, and I don't want to change anything.
drama thinking color
I really like the "two is better than three" line. People ask me is this drama or comedy? I just think the more colors you have to a film the better. The more genres, the more people will like it. I like relating to the whole general speaking public. The script itself is 99 pages but the novel it is based on is 600. I had to leave a lot of stuff out of the script. I had a limitation of what I could present on the big screen.
etc aspect
I usually don't like to talk about money, but I talk about the movie, and the other aspects of directing, etc.
information different obstacles
The emotion, and the other aspect is that this relate to many different obstacle in life. Emotion, yes, I love emotion, for your information, very much so.
want way rooms
One of the things you have to understand with The Room, I never approached a studio to produce, because I know no one in Hollywood will produce this. I came to Hollywood and I said "I will produce this movie the way I want it."
uplifting cities san-francisco
I love San Francisco, and it offers spectacular scenery of the city, and it adds to the uplifting quality of the movie.
