“There's something so glorious in giving control to the world. I think that's what I'm trying to do in my films-control the world but also let it be chaotic, let there be life.” ThinkingWorldGivingTryingFilmGloriousChaotic Author:Derek Cianfrance
“So I don't think being an artist you can ever satisfy - the moment you do get satisfied is the moment you're done, really. I'm actually starting to bug out now, because it's not enough. I get joy and pleasure in the movies out there in the world that people are seeing, but for me, it's about making it. That's why I do it, is to make it, to deal with my life.” PeopleThinkingWorldDoneEnoughMomentsJoyArtistPleasureBeing An Artist Author:Derek Cianfrance
“Yeah as the director I consider myself to be the coach, and my actors are my players. So I have to show them how committed I am, but I also want to lead by example. I think whenever you make a film, you start out alone, and then slowly start - you have to be a magnet. You have to attract people to you, to the project.” PeopleThinkingFilmPlayerCommittedCoachesMagnet Author:Derek Cianfrance
“I want to get out of the way of the actors. I want to get out of their eye lines. I want to them to stop thinking they're making a movie. I want them to just go and live. It's like you take these great actors and put them in an aquarium of life, and just watch them swim. That's what makes editing tough because you get all these beautiful, unplanned moments.” ThinkingMomentsEyeBeautifulLike YouToughSwim Author:Derek Cianfrance
