I chose to tell a personal story. When you tell a movie like this that's as emotionally charged as this is, it's a risk. As one of my great cinematic heroes, Francis Coppola, would say, If you aren't taking the highest, greatest risk, then why are you a filmmaker?

If you're smart you're just gonna be all about the work. But as a young person, you want to going out to clubs and doing all the stuff. I'm just glad I survived it.
Christian Bale
Image
I think there's a limited amount of planning you can do, at least in the position I'm in. Maybe more successful actors can plan more than I'm able to.

It was a great honor to be called a mo-fo by Sam Jackson.

The point of having a director is that they make the final decision it's their point of view, they set the rhythm and they make the final decisions.

I never applied to any acting schools. I don't know if that's just bad reporting, or - sometimes I just make stuff up.

You have to make an effort to be in an unprotected environment because everyone thinks you're a completely incapable idiot who couldn't possibly brush his teeth without an assistant. You have to make an effort in order to be able to actually experience the country that you're in.
