With film, I always sit with people first and talk a while, and then we read or sing or whatever. I never sit behind a table. I get up; I work with them. I do everything I possibly can to not audition them. I can find out the best of them from them feeling comfortable and appreciated. I'd never let someone leave feeling not valued.

I found that something exists between director and actor sometimes that surpasses or transcends language.

I always feel on film you have to earn a ballad, because it's a different kind of pace.
