Spike Jonze Zitate – Sprüche auf Englisch mit Übersetzung

Zitat des Tages von Spike Jonze:

You have to be involved and relate to the characters in order to make a film that is true emotionally.

I think at the beginning of a project, you decide if you're in love with the idea and what it's about, or what you think it's about at that time at least. Then you commit to it, and once you've commit to it no matter what, no matter how many self doubts you have, you're in it. The ship's sailed, you can't turn around.
