Going to the movies was a big event in my youth. My father would be the initiator - he'd have me put on a jacket to see a film.

I have a lot of stuff I want to talk about and offer up. It would be odd not to have ideas about something.

I was only interested in my scene, and I had to go through thousands and thousands of other scenes. I got my scene and I read it many, many, many, many, many times. That was my research.
