“The theoretical casting part of movies is the funnest part. You really can imagine so many different versions of a story, based on who's embodying it.” DifferentStoriesImagineVersionsCastingTheoretical Author:Cary Fukunaga
“My mind is in so many different places while we're shooting. Part of it is watching the performance, part of it is watching the camera, and part of it is thinking about the stuff that we have to get that day. It's always a pleasure watching, but you also take it for granted, when you're on the actual grind, making the show.” ThinkingMindDifferentShowsStuffPleasurePerformancesCamerasGrantedShootingGrindDifferent Place Author:Cary Fukunaga
“Living in New York, I get excited by the idea of working in a different medium. And it's pretty frightening because whatever skills it takes to make a good piece of theater seem mysterious to me right now.” IdeasDifferentSeemsPiecesNew YorkSkillsTheaterExcitedMediumsMysteriousFrightening Author:Cary Fukunaga
“It's just nice to be able to communicate and be able to identify with a lot of different cultures. I have no idea what it would be like to be just one thing and speak one language. I feel enormously privileged to travel and be able to mingle and speak to people that, had I only known English, I wouldn't have been able to meet.” PeopleFeelsHas BeensIdeasDifferentWould BeAbleCultureSpeakLanguageKnownNiceOne ThingCommunicateNo IdeaJust OnePrivilegedDifferent Cultures Author:Cary Fukunaga
“I think auditions are set up for failure because they're not really the set experience. There's no time to develop the character. You're just looking at someone... if someone's really good in an audition, sometimes they're not good in the film. It's something you learn when you're doing short films. It's the same way that some people do well at taking tests and some people don't. But when you're on a long-term filmmaking process it's a completely different feeling.” PeopleThinkingDifferentSometimesCharacterFeelingsFilmFilmmakingShort Films Author:Cary Fukunaga
“I don't know what I am on set. I can be many different things on set depending on how stressful a situation is. But at the end of the day we're making movies, we're not saving the world... we're not an army, no one's lives are at risk and we're just trying to make art, so I think as long as you keep reminding yourself that's what it's about you can have fun.” ThinkingWorldTryingLongArtDifferentFunSituationRiskArmyHaving FunStressfulSave The World Author:Cary Fukunaga
“I think it's a fascinating thing to see how lonely people are in this world and what they're looking for. It's a universal concept. So, it's something that interests me and I'll probably revisit it if I get the chance to do the child soldier film because I think it's one of the most important scripts I've written. It's just too dark to do as a film right now. I need to do something a bit different.” PeopleThinkingWorldChildrenImportantDifferentFilmInterestDarkChanceLonelySoldierLonely People Author:Cary Fukunaga
