Also expressionistic filmmaking - making the audience feel like they were inside the characters' heads. And so we create all these different types of techniques to put the audience there.
I find that you can use an acting technique when the thing isn't working, not that you make the technique the end result of your work. You use the technique when you're in trouble and things aren't flowing the way they should. It's a way of fooling yourself to make it work again.
Art is a technique of communication. The image is the most complete technique of all communication.
If you don't care about losing, you will focus on technique.
We had some guys that abandoned their technique and abandoned some of the things that we just worked a month on.

When you get a black belt, it’s not the number of techniques you know, but how well you know them.
Couture is also a matter of respect. In the end, all of these women sewing and embroidering the clothes, whom are almost all my mother's age, they're all 70 or 80 years old, have been here for a lifetime. They spend hours on it and come up with solutions. And because it's on a catwalk, people see if for five seconds and don't even see the technique, the drapery.
