I love involving actors at all levels - and they have to know that I want to hear their contributions, with dialogue, with story suggestions, with script changes, whatever.

I really want to have actors contribute their own ideas, with phrasings and ideas on all levels.

I love improvising.

I love mixing amateurs and professionals.

It's a farce, it's a romp, it's a glass of champagne, ... It's whatever you need for the moment. I enjoyed my half-year working on it, and I hope that joy that we experienced will be reflected a little on the screen.

But I notice that there is a lack of darkness in my movies and I don't know where that comes from.
