I make films about working class people.
When I finish a film, I put it away and I never look at it again.
I make films about working class people. All my films have always been about that. For example, the brothel is a workplace. It's aberrant, but a workplace nonetheless. I was more interested as opposed to glamorizing and saying, oh, this is a great erotic place, it's a place of business. The commodity is sex.
It isn't glamorous until after the film is finished, and you are at the premiere and getting your picture on the cover of magazines.
The score is always the wonderful icing. The score tells you the emotional content of the film. What the characters don't say, the music can say.
It's very clearly stated in the film: You make your own choices, and what you're always fighting is ego.
My creative partner is a writer, and he's got an executive producing credit on this film. We've made three films together and I would never underestimate the impact of a writer.
But the process of making a film is not glamorous. Certainly not my films.
But a writer's contribution is literary and a film is not literary. When you take that stuff off the page, and cast the people who are going to fit into those roles, that's what being a director is.
