More From Helmut Newton

With a director it's all about the work; i'd work with a great director over - you know, i'm not the kind of actor who that doesn't go, 'i want to play this role.' it's more like, 'i want to work with this director,' regardless of what the role is because if it's a good director, you'll probably find a good role because it's a decent film. but a mediocre director will always make a mediocre movie.

It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.

Independent means one thing to me: it means that regardless of the source of financing, the director's voice is extremely present. it's such a pretentious term, but it's auteurist cinema. director-driven, personal, auteurist... whatever word you want. it's where you feel the director, not a machine, at work. it doesn't matter where the money comes from. it matters how much freedom the director has to work with his or her team. that's how i personally define independent movies.
Team Mean Independent
There's a saying that we use in golf: "i'd rather be lucky than good." of course, to be lucky and good is the ideal. if you study hard, you can get good. and if you get lucky and get the proper parts for people to be able to appreciate what you're doing ... i'm sure there are many actors that are quite talented who have never been a success because they've never had the right opportunity and the right material. my mother used to think i had a guardian angel.

Look out how you use proud words. when you let proud words go, it is not easy to call them back. they wear long boots, hard boots; they walk off proud; they can't hear you calling. look out how you use proud words.
Long Looks Use
There's a paraphrase about orson welles saying: "great films are made by great directors and the rest are made by everyone else." i've been very lucky... before i start insulting the profession of directing, but i think a good director is everything and a bad director really is nothing at all.

Travel Thinking
Sometimes, we're so focused on being consistent that we also lower the bar on amazing. after all, the thinking goes, if we can't be amazing all the time, better to reset the expectation to merely good. which robs us of the ability to (sometimes) be amazing.
Thinking Expectations Bars
You want people to think. you want people to be emotionally moved. and there's a theory behind that in terms of storytelling. it has been around for thousands of years. and that's where something like live theater or a live performance is something that is very valuable because you get instant feedback from your audience and you kind of know the things that work and the things that don't work.

I think you only learn what kind of personality you have by committing to things.
