If you wait until the right time to have a child you`ll die childless, and I think film making is very much the same thing. You just have to take the plunge and just start shooting something even if it`s bad.
I watched a couple of really bad directors work, and I saw how they completely botched it up and missed the visual opportunities of the scene when we had put things in front of them as opportunities. Set pieces, props and so on.
I was always fascinated by engineering. Maybe it was an attempt maybe to get my father`s respect or interest, or maybe it was just a genetic love of technology, but I was always trying to build things.
I mean, you have to be able - you have to have made the commitment within yourself to do whatever it takes to get the job done and to try to inspire other people to do it, because obviously the first rule is you can`t do it by yourself.
It took me a long time to realize that you have to have a bit of an interlanguage with actors. You have to give them something that they can act with.
