More From Philip Seymour Hoffman

I'm interested in seeing films that confront me with new things, with films that make me question myself, with films that help me to reflect on subjects that i hadn't thought about before, films that help me progress and advance.
Progress Helping Film
Some of these things i saw in foreign films - african films, cuban films - long before i decided to really go on this course as an actor. i started to think about what values i saw in those films that i wanted to bring to my projects
Thinking Long Saws
There were a lot of people dreaming about making films, and they would finance maybe 6 films a year. because they were funded by the government, the films sort-of had to deal with serious social issues - and, as a result, nobody went to see those films.
Dream Government Years
Many people are under the delusion that i'm just a special-effects man, but i've worn many different hats in my day. on every film i've been involved in, i worked with the writer and producer. we really formulated those scripts. we tried to make films that were logical but still had the fantasy feel of it. i enjoy aardman animation's films with wallace and gromit, but they're obvious puppet films, whereas we tried to disguise it and make our effects characters in the films rather than obvious puppets.

I've made a way to allow myself to do big films, small films, dramas, comedies, action films, horror films, or whatever interests me, as a movie-goer. i like watching myself in movies. i want to choose movies that allow me to enjoy myself, the way that i want to entertain myself.
Drama Want Way
I do not make films which are prescriptive, and i do not make films that are conclusive. you do not walk out of my films with a clear feeling about what is right and wrong. they're ambivalent. you walk away with work to do. my films are a sort of investigation. they ask questions . . .. sometimes i hear that some [hollywood] studio is interested in me. then they discover that this is the guy who works with no script, that there is no casting discussion, no interference, that i have the final cut, and that does it.

In a world in which technology is changing at such a fast pace, where demand conditions change very fast, we need to look at a more innovative mechanism to cut down on this rigmarole of many tiers of decision-making processes.

Pleasure resorts are like film stars and royalty... embarrassed by the figures they cut in the fantasies of people who have never met them.

After an age of leaves and feathers someone dead thought of the mountain as money and cut the trees that were here and the wind and the rain at night. it is hard to say it.
