“I think my interest in risk is pretty high, a lot higher than I think a lot of other people who are just looking for something to kind of define themselves, give them a set of fingerprints, and certainly is better for the pocketbook. For me it's always about trying new things and wanting to explore something else and something new of myself and of actors I really like.” PeopleThinkingGivingTryingKindActorsInterestRiskHigherSomething NewNew ThingsFingerprintsTrying New ThingsPocketbooks Author:David Gordon Green
“I'm not a director that's about precision and control and perfection, I'm about creating an atmosphere that's organic and interesting and then letting people loose, and for that there's no greater actor or performer than children.

You can hear the gears whirring and they're trying to think of what the smart approach is to getting a line across.” ThinkingTryingIdeasSometimesActorsSoundLinesApproachSmartPercentSellsComing OutGearsLike Something Author:David Gordon Green
“Sometimes you'll have great actors who aren't comfortable with improvising. Which can get pretty frustrating. But every actor's coming from a different place and they have their own strengths and weaknesses and your job is to sell them as two people in the same world. Some of them have to have their hands held and some I just let loose entirely.” PeopleWorldTwoDifferentSometimesHandsJobsActorsComfortableWeaknessSellsFrustratingDifferent PlaceGreat ActorsStrength And WeaknessImprovising Author:David Gordon Green
“We were in production on a movie called All the Real Girls, which filmed in the Fall of 2001, and we really discovered who Danny McBride was, as an actor. When I say we, I mean me and a crew and a small audience that would hit the art house. He'd never acted before, and it was a really refreshing, eye-opening experience to watch him unleash, in front of the camera, all this comedic potential that we knew he had, as a human being and as the guy doing keg-stands at the party.” HumansMeanArtRealEyeGuyFallGirlActorsHouseHuman BeingsPartyWatchesAudienceFrontsCamerasProductionsOpeningCrewRefreshingComedicEye OpeningKegsReal Girl Author:David Gordon Green
