I've been lucky to learn by playing all kinds of roles and watching all kinds of really good cinematographers, actors, and directors for many years before people were even aware of me in terms of audience.
Part of the process of acting in a film that you're also directing is really trusting the people around you to capture your vision, which hopefully you have communicated well to them.
It seems to me that there are two kinds of trickery: the 'fronts' people assume before one another's eyes, and the 'front' a writer puts on the face of reality.
When a film works, the director had a lot to do with that, but the director also didn't have a lot to do with that. There are so many moving parts. It's really about being open to how the river is flowing and trying to get on the river.
I've been so lucky to work with such great people: people that are such hard workers and have such a respect and appreciation for one another.
Actors rarely stay in touch with directors after they've filmed together. We go back to real life.
Sometimes people get really sniffy about the films you choose if you've done more dramatic projects or you're classically trained.
I'm a con artist in that I'm an actor. I make people believe something is real when they know perfectly well it isn't.
Personally I don't like it when writers become excessively proscriptive about the way that people read their books.
