00:00The worst note I've received on a script was from a potential financier.
00:07But he said to me, couldn't we find a place for a naked pregnant woman?
00:18I think this is one of the first times I've ever said it out loud.
00:30Probably Errol Flynn's Robin Hood.
00:35Gene Kelly movies, like Singing in the Rain and American in Paris.
00:39It had everything in that movie. It was funny, it was exciting.
00:44But I didn't really have a concept of that would be a thing I could do.
00:49And as I got older, then I knew that Michael Curtiz had directed it,
00:53and he also did Casablanca, and then I started to search out his movies.
00:58Yeah, Gene Kelly films are the ones that made me kind of hope,
01:04but I didn't think I could do it.
01:12Well, it's, I mean, it's Louise May Alcott wrote it, not me, in this line.
01:16I just love it. It's Florence Pugh as Amy.
01:19I want to be great or nothing.
01:22It's just, it's tremendous.
01:25It's such a, such a wonderful sentiment.
01:28And also, you know, it's ambitious.
01:30It's a big thing.
01:31And I don't, I think when I read it, like, when I read it,
01:34it stood out to me in neon.
01:36Like, that's an ambitious girl, and I like it.
01:39Well, I just recently, just like two nights ago, was at an event in Nick Cave, the singer, not the artist.
01:53Although the artist may have been there too.
01:55Santa Gold.
01:56I met her at the LACMA Gucci event, and I love her music.
02:01I happened to fanboy out on the singer Nick Cave, whose records I love.
02:06And she's so lovely, and I got really flustered.
02:10But anyway, she's fabulous.
02:12A friend of mine had just went, had surgery, and so I took a photo of me and him to send to him.
02:18Here I am hanging out with Nick Cave while you're in the hospital.
02:21I don't know, what are the stereotypes of indie filmmakers?
02:31Oh, I guess maybe that we're, there's any kind of pretension there.
02:35I don't know if that's a stereotype of indie filmmakers,
02:37but I feel like mostly indie filmmakers are just people making films without any financing.
02:46It's not, it has nothing to do with their, their, their heart or, you know.
02:51I feel like it's just, it's just where you start out.
02:54I mean, even Steven Spielberg was once an indie filmmaker, before Jaws.
