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?
00:17I think this is one of the first times I've ever said it out loud.
00:32Probably 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.
00:48And 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.
00:57Yeah, Gene Kelly films are the ones that made me kind of hope,
01:04but I didn't think I could do it.
01:11Well, it's, I mean, it's Louisa 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. It's such a, such a wonderful sentiment.
01:28And also, you know, it's ambitious. It's a big thing.
01:31And I don't, I think when I read it, like, when I read it, it stood out to me in
01:35neon.
01:36Like, that's an ambitious girl, and I like it.
01:45Well, I just recently, just like two nights ago, was at an event, and Nick Cave, the singer, not the
01:53artist.
01:53Although the artist may have been there, too.
01:55Santa Gold.
01:57I met her at the LACMA Gucci event, and I love her music.
02:02I happened to fanboy out on the singer, Nick Cave, whose records I love.
02:06And she's so lovely, and I got really flustered. But 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
02:18send to him.
02:18Here I am hanging out with Nick Cave while you're in the hospital.
02:26I 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, but I feel like mostly indie filmmakers are just people
02:41making films without any financing.
02:46It's not, it has nothing to do with their, their, their heart or, you know, I feel like it's just,
02:52it's just where you start out.
02:54I mean, even Steven Spielberg was once an indie filmmaker, before Jaws.
