“I don't really see a huge divide between filmmaking and television. In the end, a lot of people are going to be watching this stuff on their laptops and their iPhones anyway. So, it doesn't really matter where it comes from, as long as the stories get told.” PeopleLongEndsMatterStoriesStuffTelevisionHugeDividesFilmmakingIphoneLaptops Author:Cary Fukunaga
“In a city like New York, especially for young professionals who aren't in a family situation, most people don't cook for themselves. This is the only city I've ever lived in where I eat out every night.” PeopleYoungNightCitiesSituationNew YorkCooksEvery Night Author:Cary Fukunaga
“In snowboarding, you're constantly aware that people are so technically brilliant at what they do, and you feel like, "Ugh, I'll never be able to do that."” PeopleFeelsAbleBrilliantSnowboardingUgh Author:Cary Fukunaga
“Your movie should lull people into a place of openness and vulnerability. If it is just a diatribe, it's never going to work.” PeopleIfsShouldVulnerabilityOpennessGoing To WorkLulls Author:Cary Fukunaga
“It's pretty awesome to see people dressed up in period clothing and running around on horses and in carriages and all that kind of thing. Part of the fun of making a period film is just that playfulness. It's just like make believe when you're a child except you get to do it for a real job.” PeopleBelieveKindChildrenRealRunningJobsFilmFunPeriodsHorseClothingsDressed UpMake BelieveCarriagesPlayfulnessReal Jobs 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
“It's nice to represent to other people in the world that Americans actually do know what's happening in the world, can speak other languages and are conscientious. The perception quite often is that we don't know what's beyond our county line.” PeopleKnowsWorldSpeakLanguageLinesNicePerceptionHappeningsCountyOften Is 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
“Sometimes the best set experiences make for the worst films. So, you don't want it to be too good an experience! But the bulk of your life is working with people and collaborating so you don't want anyone to be miserable on your film either. You want it to be something that people walk away from saying that it was a good experience for them and hopefully a good film. As a director, you are sort of leader of that troupe for that period of time, so you're aware of morale and your effect - how you are as a person and how that sort of trickles down to everyone else.” PeopleSometimesFilmLeaderWorstMiserableHopefullyMorale 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
“I've never watched my films with an everyday audience so it was really crazy to watch people clap at the end of my film - with no one there, no actors, no people from the film. It was just a spontaneous reaction, so I thought that was probably the best compliment you could get from an audience.” PeopleFilmAudienceCrazyEverydayComplimentSpontaneous Author:Cary Fukunaga
“If you think of most murders as being between people who know each other, it's very easy to figure out who the killer is. But when you have a murder that appears random, where the person is not someone that's within the known radius of the victim, then it's much, much more difficult to solve.” PeopleThinkingEasyDifficultMurderVictim Author:Cary Fukunaga
