I don't want to say I hear voices; well, actually I do hear voices, but I don't think it's supernatural. I think it's just that when characters are given enough texture and backbone, then lo and behold, they stand on their own. ↗

I think there are a lot more relationship scenes in my movies that people tend to overlook. A lot of scenes really feel real and are about the characters. ↗

I became, and remain, my characters' close and intent watcher: their director, never. Their creator I cannot feel that I was, or am. ↗
