More From John Leguizamo

Once committed to fight, cut. everything else is secondary. cut. that is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. there is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. cut. cut from the void, not from bewilderment. cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. cut decisively, resolutely. cut into the enemy’s strength. flow through the gaps in his guard. cut him. cut him down utterly. don’t allow him a breath. crush him. cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit." -richard rahl

You’ll find that the movie business is paid for by those mega movies. the movie business is paid for by big macs. by movies as product. movie studios use that term “product” all the time. product? you mean you have a lot of stories? no, we have a lot of product. you have stories.

In the theater, you're so much more in charge as an actor. for better or for worse, you know what the audience is seeing. but you can be acting your socks off on film, and then you see the movie, and the camera is on the other actor, or they've cut out the lines you thought were significant, or they've adjusted the plot. so much of it is out of your control.
Cutting Acting Cameras
I have received the digital camera as a blessing. it has really changed my life as a filmmaker, because i don't use my camera anymore as a camera. i don't feel it as a camera. i feel it as a friend, as something that doesn't make an impression on people, that doesn't make them feel uncomfortable, and that is completely forgotten in my way of approaching life and people and film.
Blessing People Cameras
Making photos is helpful of course to master the craft. to get comfortable with the camera. learn what a camera can do and how to use the camera successfully. doing exercises for example if you try to find out things that the camera can do that the eye cannot do. so that you have a tool that will do what you need to be done. but then once you have mastered the craft the most important thing is to determine why you want to shoot pictures and what you want to shoot pictures of. that's where the thematic issue comes to life.
Eye Exercise Issues
You can say something that can really help and actor and you can say something that can really get in the way of an actor's performance, kind of cut them off from their instincts and really get into their heads. and every actor's different. every actor requires something different. being an actor, for me, was the greatest training to be a writer and director.
