I'm Just Looking As Always For Something

It's Very Rare You Get A Great Script Just Handed To You, Or Sent To You, By Someone You Don't Know.

Every Once In A While, Someone Would Call Me A Foreigner Or A Yankee, Or Whatever. In The United States, Someone Might Say Something, Like How Kids Do, To Point Out That You're Different. That Would Come As A Surprise To Me. As You Get Old, You Either Get Defensive About It Or You Accept It And You Reach Out, Because You Realize The World's Full Of People Like That.

I Have Never Been In A Natural Place And Felt That It Was A Waste Of Time. I Never Have. And It's A Relief. If I'm Walking Around A Desert Or Whatever, Every Second Is Worthwhile.

In A Lot Of Ways, I Envy Someone Like Omar Sharif Who Lived In A Hotel For Decades.

People Will Like To Say That 'eastern Promises' Is Brutal, But The Only Reason They Say That Is Because The Scenes Stick With Them. They Are Realistic. They Are In-your-face And You See The Consequences. It's Not A Bunch Of Quick Editing Cuts.
