:51:01
I hate them for not loving me.
:51:04
You think they do the film
out of love. but...

:51:07
I don't know... Out of vanity?
Why do they do the film?

:51:14
And there's their cowardly side.
:51:16
When you get tough with them,
though you have no real power,

:51:19
they're the first to be hateful,
to trigger the hostilities.

:51:24
And when they back down,
you despise them.

:51:30
Though you'd really
like to love them.

:51:34
I'm talking about actors,
not actresses.

:51:37
With them I get along,
even when we don't like each other.

:51:40
The violence.
the power trip, is masculine.

:51:46
But it's when you put them down
that they're dazzling,

:51:49
as if they needed it.
:51:52
Because an actor is female.
:51:56
He has to be. to be an actor.
:51:59
And sharing your emotion with them
is a mistake.

:52:04
A director is a predator,
you drag the emotion out of them!

:52:08
It becomes yours,
your name's on the film.

:52:11
The actors are the film's
basic material.

:52:14
That's how it is:
humanly it's appalling.

:52:23
It's like I'm going
to my own hanging.

:52:27
Think they'll take
their clothes off?

:52:29
He wouldn't take his socks off:
that's not promising!

:52:36
In other people's films
actors undress, don't they?

:52:40
All of them!
:52:41
Even for lousy scenes.
:52:43
They do shower scenes
that are sheer titillation!

:52:47
But for me, they won't do it!
:52:54
I'll do it in one shot.
:52:56
I'll shoot the whole scene
in one shot.

:52:59
So they can't escape me.
