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.
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.
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.
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.
rocks honest rock-music
I like rock music. I also like classical, if you ask me. I'm very adaptable, they say that. But I have certain preference too, be honest.
couple names people
Any filmmaker, big directors, and I'm not dropping any names - I actually have couple names I want to say, but I will not - we have a ratio. Each thing you repeat, my ratio is one to four.Actually some people are ratio one to 34. I know couple directors, big directors, they are just shooting over and over.
passion years world
Millions of filmmakers would love to be in my position right now. If you are honest it makes the world a better place. I created the room with my passion and after all these years it finally worked out.
nice thinking keys
Think about who you are. Think about how nice you can be to another person. By the same token then, to have your own opinion about life, you as an individual, with respect. But I think that's what the key to success is.
background
My background is in psychology and I'm also a stage actor. That's my background.
discover maybe tiny
I always say that you don't have to like 'The Room', but you will discover something - maybe a tiny little thing - and say, 'Wait a minute, maybe I want to see more.'
job towards
As a filmmaker and an actor, my job is to react towards people, but I want a reaction from them.
