You ought to have a perspective when you're making a film.
I made three films with Douglas, two with Charles Boyer.
In the film, I'm not very mobile, like in the space suit.
I'll never be able to really see a film that I'm in.
The U.S., especially Hollywood, is so strong for film production.
I'm much more interested in living specific experiences in films.
I'm anxious to make another film.
I've worked for 27 years nonstop in theater and films. That's a lot of work.
It's nice to have proper film fans respecting and appreciating your work.
Film people are coming into TV, because they can't get any work.
I wanted to work with Bryan Singer because I like his films.
Even if there are a lot women in films, there are few who are lesbians, that people know about.
How can you make sense of a place if it won't hold still to be counted and even its colors aren't fast? Their job was to imagine, never to know. The truth, as generations of directors had reminded their charges, would only get in the way.

The thing is this: I've got an amazing career in England that couldn't possibly get much better. I do the best theater around, I work at the National Theater, the Old Vic - which I'm sure you've heard of because it's the one Kevin Spacey runs - and I...
My dad is an art director for BBC TV shows, and my mum does screen printing workshops. Both of my parents played instruments, too, and my mum used to have crazy house parties when me and my brother were young - dub and garage would be banging through...
Religious people were big on saying "the tongue is a mighty weapon, so use it wisely," and then forsaking this claim when the music director slept with the minister's wife or when the youth minister did what he did.
I just love working with actors, and I love working with writers, working with designers. I feel that I am just a storyteller, and whether I am wearing the director hat or the playwright hat, it doesn't matter. And the rooms I tend to be in are prett...
If I do a play, it's my vision, and everybody else is working on the production to support that. If I do an opera, I feel like part of my job is to support that composer, to try and create something that allows the composer to do his or her best work...
