[on performing in sex scenes] I think that most actors are full of shit when they say, 'Oh, it's just like a fight scene. There's nothing sexual at all about it'. They say that because it would inappropriate so say anything else. But I do think the truth is that we are animals, and at certain times it does happen that people are - for better or for worse - attracted to someone when you're kissing them. It just happens because there are three parts to our brain and not all of them are extremely intellectual. I think it's something that people don't really like talking about because it seems unprofessional and inappropriate. Hide

I'm good at reading people, at throwing surprises at people in scenes. Because I'm also a director and a writer and producer, I kind of know how to get great performances out of people that I'm in scenes with. I love the actor John Cazale and remember seeing a doc on him and how it said 'Actors love working with him because he will make them better'. That's something I kind of aspire to. Hide

I'm interested to see what happens to Spike Lee with limited resources, you know? I love Spike Lee's movies. But you know what? I kinda liked his movies when he used to scramble and fight more for them. Hide

If you're locked to the words on the script, as good as those scripted words are, if you didn't have the time to rehearse them correctly or if the perceived dynamic between the actors is different from what the writer imagined, and you're not allowed to stray from that, you're going to have a stilted scene.
