“In cinema people are always walking into something and saying this is who I am, what I want, and how I'm going to get it and we don't in life - particularly not in public situations.

So if you start there and you realize this is a much more normal presentation in a film then you would ordinarily have; you know that there is a big life behind what everyone presents and that I think is super interesting.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWantFirstsBigsMightLastsFilmNamesRealizingInterestingBehindsSituationWalkingOffersNormalWho I AmCinemaPresentation Author:Julianne Moore

“You're in a movie, so you have to think about how something plays. It's not like you're thinking about how an audience is going to react. You're trying to present the story. You're trying to illuminate the lives of these people in the story. So I'm thinking about how my behavior as this character best illuminates what's going on with them in this moment in time. I always say it's sort of the director's job. People think that the directors direct actors. No. Really, what the director's doing is directing the audience's eye through the film.” PeopleThinkingTryingMomentsCharacterEyeFilmAudienceLike YouBehaviorDirect Author:Julianne Moore
