“I hope my talent has something to do with it. I just think this business is so crazy. I obviously do the best I can, and the directors I admire see something in me. But this is a strange business, and there are people who are incredibly talented who never make it, who never get these opportunities. So that's why I say I'm lucky. I don't feel that I'm not talented - I think I am talented - but I also think I'm very lucky.” PeopleThinkingFeelsI CanOpportunityCrazyTalentStrangeLuckyDirectorsAdmireDo The Best Author:Jennifer Jason Leigh

“A lot of times there were big mistakes, but I would show the art director and he'd say, Yeah, let's go with it. There would be a strange cropping or one girl in focus and three out or a blur. But I would end up liking the mistakes and incorporating them into my work. And I became known for it.” ArtEndsShowsBigsWould BeGirlThreeMistakeKnownFocusStrangeDirectorsYeahBlurBig MistakeIncorporatingArt Director Author:Deborah Turbeville
“Here is how I work: when I think that a film needs to have a principal theme, I search for a melody. I have a very strange melodic gift: melodies come to me effortlessly. So I write melodies-thirty, forty, fifty-then I cast them off until I have just two or three. If only one is needed, I go see the director and ask him to decide. That happened one time with Jacques Demy for the duo of the twins [in Les demoiselles de Rochefort]: I went to his house in Noirmoutier to play 35 possible themes for him.” IfsThinkingNeedsWritingTwoPlayFilmThreeAsksHouseHappenedStrangeNeededDirectorsCastsThirtyThemeFiftyFortyMelodyOne TimeTwinsPrincipalDuos Author:Michel Legrand
“It was a really strange experience. It was very creative for Alejandro Amenábar. It was almost like it was the most I ever felt like I was helping someone paint. They had a very clear idea of what they wanted it to look like, sound like, be like. So, there was no operating outside the box. The only way to help him was to try to really be a part of his imagination and try to make it happen. He's a super kind and loving person. So, you wanted to help him. It just was none of my normal ways of helping a director work at all. So, it was a unique experience for me that way.” WayTryingLooksKindPersonsIdeasHelpingHappensWantedFeltSoundImaginationCreativeClearStrangeDirectorsNormalUniquePaintBoxesBarsMake It HappenAmenOutside The BoxLoving PersonUnique ExperiencesHelping Someone Author:Ethan Hawke
