In film, you're painting a canvas. I got really excited about that.
No matter how widely spread out the films are, how different, you still are you.
We are the only state that does not have a State Film Corporation there to support the commercial industry.
You begin a film more with questions than with direct intentions. It's more of an exploration and discovery.
The actors are the greatest executors of tone in a film. They're the most important cinematic component.
You know, sometimes I feel like I walk around with a target on my back with the films I make.
That's where my passion was ignited, on the set of 'Pobol Y Cwm.' I loved it and I've had such a passion for TV and films. I can't do anything else.
I'd already started directing short films when we were doing 'Lord of the Rings,' then videogame projects.
I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.
If you mention any ideological thing about shooting 'Last Tango in Paris,' I was thinking I was doing a political film.
I am astonished and surprised that someone could consider making a film about me without talking to me about it.
As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now; I'm not going to say what they were.
I was thinking of going to London drama schools or to New York, because France didn't accommodate the things I wanted to do in film.
Nothing's better than coming away from a film when people don't even recognize you, because you've undergone a total transformation.
People are so wonderful that a photographer has only to wait for that breathless moment to capture what he wants on film.
Also, there are now new laws in Brazil which create incentives for Argentine and Latin American films to be premiered and distributed in Brazil and vice versa.
For me, personally, I'm usually not on my phone that much. I prefer listening to old radio shows and watching foreign films than tweeting.
We shot 'High School Musical' in eight weeks. I spent longer rehearsing for 'Hairspray' than filming 'High School Musical'.
Amanda Bynes and I have become close since filming 'Hairspray.' It's so weird because I grew up watching her.
With 'Girls,' it doesn't really feel like I'm doing TV specifically. It just feels like we're making a really long film.
You have kids studying master class visual arts who are pushed to make films that will be successful economically; that's what they focus on. So they work for corporate interest instead of artistic expression.
