“The people who've done well within the [Hollywood] system are the people whose instincts, whose desires [are in natural alignement with those of the producers] - who want to make the kind of movies that producers want to produce. People who don't succeed - people who've had long, bad times; like [Jean] Renoir, for example, who I think was the best director, ever - are the people who didn't want to make the kind of pictures that producers want to make. Producers didn't want to make a Renoir picture, even if it was a success.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantWellsKindLongDoneDesireNaturalExampleProduceSucceedDirectorsHollywoodInstinctProducersBad TimesRenoir Author:Orson Welles
“I've been inspired by films since I started dancing, and I'm married to a filmmaker, and I think it was one of my secret desires, but I was afraid to just say, 'I want to be a director'. But then one day I said, O.K., stop dreaming and do it. But I didn't want to do it the Hollywood way, and talk through agents. I decided it all had to be generated by me, so I wrote it.” ThinkingWayWantSaidDreamFilmDesireSecretOne DayDirectorsMarriedDecidedHollywoodDancingInspiredAgentsFilmmakerStop DreamingSecret Desire Author:Madonna Ciccone
“Before writing a single note of music, and even before the spotting session, I find it best to sit down with the director and just listen to him or her talk about the film - what they're trying to say, what they want the audience to understand or believe, and a thousand other similar questions. The director has most likely been living with the film for years before a composer is attached, and so the director's inclinations, desires, and understanding of the film are paramount.” WantWritingTryingYearsBelieveFilmDesireUnderstandingAudienceThousandDirectorsNotesComposerInclinationSessionJust ListenParamount Author:John Keltonic
“It`s probably fair to say I have taken myself too seriously on some jobs. I`m sure I`m more guilty of being difficult than I`d like to remember. I don`t regret my desires; I`ve regretted the way I would communicate my desires. Maybe I`ve lost a job because of some rumor, I doubt it. But nobody good that I`ve worked with has ever said anything negative about me, because we`ve never had a negative experience. By good, I mean directors who do their homework, people that are passionate, crazy, never sleep, and do like I do and just go after it.” PeopleWayMeanSaidJobsRememberDesireLostDifficultSleepTakenDoubtCrazyRegretDirectorsNegativeFairsPassionateCommunicateGuiltyRumorHomeworkDon't RegretNever SleepNegative Experiences Author:Val Kilmer

“Director Park always talked to me about her in a very innocent way, that the story was of her coming of age and her sexual awakening and her going from girl to woman and that she had the same desires and hopes as other young people in terms of being very infatuated, which comes in the form of her uncle, which is very unconventional.” PeopleWayStoriesAgeFormYoungDesireGirlTermDirectorsAwakeningInnocentParksComing Of AgeUnclesUnconventionalInfatuated Author:Mia Wasikowska
