There are photographers who push for war because they make stories. they search for a chinese who has a more chinese are than the others and they end up finding one. they have him take a typically chinese pose and surround him with chinoiseries. what have they captured on their film? a chinese? definitely not: the idea of the chinese.

Things break all the time. glass and dishes and fingernails. cars and contracts and potato chips. you can break a record, a horse, a dollar. you can break the ice. there are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks. day breaks, waves break, voices break. chains can be broken. so can silence, and fever... promises break. hearts break.

When critics or people judge, i think it's harder to make a commercial, pop movie than it is to make a pretentious art film. it's harder to reach millions of people and satisfy them and make them happy. these films kind of get ghettoized, this genre because there are so many big, big movies that are such big hits, but aren't any good. the audiences, they're not judging the style of the director, or the execution of the film. they're just looking to be entertained. they want to escape from their reality, and that's why we make movies, to get people to escape from the realities.
Art Reality Thinking
The new bond film, will be a big, big hit, because every bond film is an event. fathers take their sons to it; probably grandfathers. it's been a long time, and i think that the success of bond is because the audiences have never been cheated by the producers. they always spend every penny, put it on the screen, and then the things that people expect to see in a bond film - big action scenes, glamorous ladies - it's pure escapism.
Father Son Thinking
There's something that happens where you go, if you're lucky, goodness me, from film to another film to another film. and you can sort of feel that if you step off that treadmill, it might all go horribly wrong and you might never be employed again, you know. and i suddenly thought that that's not necessarily the case. and i also thought we make drama as actors about people in the world and that if you are on that treadmill, you start making films about other films.
Drama People Steps
For a ridiculous analogy, let's take purple rain. if you were to put purple rain and the sound of music on the desk of a producer, he or she would know that the majority of moviegoers would rather listen to prince. since they are in the business of making money, no one can blame them. but if it ever came to the decision of making a film like that i'd say, "no." they are very easy films to make, though. in purple rain there is nothing complex about the way that they dance. or sing. it would be a bit boring for an adult to make that film. it just wouldn't test their métier.

To preserve the silence within--amid all the noise. to remain open and quiet, a moist humus in the fertile darkness where the rain falls and the grain ripens--no matter how many tramp across the parade ground in whirling dust under an arid sky.
Rain Fall Dust
Everything is a reenactment. we are reenacting the world in the mind. the world is not inside there. it does not reside in the gray matter of the brain.

If i am to constrain you by any law, it must be one by which i am also bound.
