You can't have the real thing on camera - that's the nature of cinema. When you see people like Daniel Day-Lewis and Ralph Fiennes screaming and hyperventilating, you're seeing the phoniest kind of bad acting. You may as well have a 'men at work' sign. It's not acting if you can see it.

Actors should be instinctive and spontaneous. If you think about acting, you're not going to be good.

Every movie I've ever made says the same thing. They all find comedy in people trying to live their lives without any rules.

Paul Morrissey Quotes
