“When I write an email where I outlined a whole scene, it just came out of my unconscious, it comes from a deeper place. The same thing happens when the actors go, take after take, and just get lost in it. When you're in a house, you don't think about being in the house; you're just there.” ThinkingWritingWholeHappensActorsHouseLostSceneDeeperThings HappenUnconsciousEmail Author:David O. Russell
“But I've always felt that the less you know about an actor's personal life, the more you can get involved in the story in which he's playing a character. And I don't like to see movies where you know about everything that happens behind the scenes. I can't engage in the story if I know what's going on in the actor's head.” IfsKnowsI CanCharacterStoriesHappensActorsFeltBehindsInvolvedScenePersonal LifeGet InvolvedBehind The Scenes Author:Eric Stoltz

“Our life is managed from behind the scenes: we are actors in dramas that we cannot interpret. Of almost no decisive event can we say: this was our own choosing.

“I basically made the movie from the crew's suggestions. For one scene, I wanted some kids' toys against the wall in Mikey's room, to give the scene texture, and we tried a field hockey stick.

“I grew up in the theater, and you can't improvise Shakespeare and Ibsen. You have to speak the language. But obviously, in a contemporary film, there's often room for improvisation and spontaneous things that happen. As long as I know what I'm trying to achieve in the scene, and when something comes up, I know that the response is genuine, I'm comfortable. That's really how I build everything.” KnowsTryingLongHappensFilmSpeakLanguageRoomsAchieveGrewSceneComfortableGrew UpTheaterResponseCome UpGenuineContemporarySpontaneousImprovisationIbsen Author:Victor Garber
