My father used to work here, back when it was The Toronto Telegram. These remind me of him.

If you put yourself in a group of people you cannot work with it's obviously going to be a disaster.

For example I don't work with William Hurt the same way that I will work with Viggo. They're different guys and they work in different ways. So a good sensitive director has his general style and technique and personality that he uses but you don't impose that on the actors.

The more unique your film is and unusual it is and difficult it is, the harder it is to get it financed. That's why a lot of good filmmakers are doing television. They do HBO movies.

The filmmaking process is a very personal one to me, I mean it really is a personal kind of communication. It's not as though its a study of fear or any of that stuff.

The idea of a mass audience was really an invention of the Industrial Revolution.
