“I think being on a show like Game of Thrones for six years, I've gone through that whole hype thing, and I know that it doesn't do you any good creatively. You've just got to stay focused on the character and the script and your work. As humble and as grateful as I am for so many people watching it, and that there's so much love and attention, it's best for my own sanity and creativeness to try and keep that at bay.” PeopleThinkingKnowsTryingYearsWholeCharacterShowsGamesMy OwnAttentionGoneSixGratefulScriptsHumbleFocusedSanityThronesHypeStay FocusedMuch LoveCreativeness Author:Finn Jones

“The essence of the cinema that I'm interested in is a combination of love, rage, and curiosity. Sometimes it's hard to see those intentions, or maybe it's hard to portray them on film in a way that doesn't sound too preachy or irrelevant. So instead of saying it out loud, you say it multiple times in the movie by hiding it. You get a sensation after you see the whole film throughout yourself.” WaySometimesHardWholeFilmSoundEssenceIntentionCuriosityRageCombinationLoudCinemaSensationsHidingMultipleIrrelevant Author:Pablo Larrain
“Sometimes I go to the cinema and I see a movie where the directors or the filmmakers are telling me what to think, what to feel.

“There are some filmmakers like the Coen brothers that are very precise. They make shooting boards, they do it shot by shot, and they follow every single line in their own script. They make amazing movies, and I admire them so much, but I can't do that. I have no idea how the movie will exactly be. While shooting, I just try to create an accident that I don't control very well - grabbing things from different sources and ideas, and then having a sensation somewhere that it will make sense.” TryingWellsI CanIdeasDifferentLinesBrotherSourceShotsScriptsAccidentsAdmireShootingNo IdeaMake SenseBoardsFilmmakerSensationsPreciseGrabbingCoen BrothersExactly IsSingle Line Author:Pablo Larrain
