I knew I wanted the parties in 'The Queen of the Night' to be convincing, beautiful, and also dramatic: situations where significant things happened on a scale that was both grand and intimate. There were several texts that helped me think about how to do this, and one of the most important ones was Charlotte Bronte's novel 'Villette.'
A journalist is supposed to present an unbiased portrait of an event, a view devoid of intimate emotions. This is impossible, of course. The framing of an image, by its very composition, represents a choice. The photographer chooses what to show and what to exclude.
A home should be an intimate autobiography of the things that you like. One of the things I'm so keen on expressing is that, if you don't do it for yourself, if you're always seeking affirmation from outside, you'll never have a home. It'll just be a house.
It's how I express myself - through storytelling and characters. They often reveal very intimate, vulnerable sides of myself.
I have always felt that just to show love, you don't have to make two people do intimate scenes. That is not the idea of 'I love you.'
That's something that I think the best artists retain - the ability to invite you into their small, intimate inner space, and let that be what radiates.
Cinema is a slice of reality. You have school and college kids being intimate and marriage is not even in question and that is what they show in cinema.
It seems to me if you don't know anything about child development you shouldn't intimate in your 'reporting' that you do.
I really like people who have the gift of the gab. I like characters that are very eloquent, articulate and confident in what they're saying. Especially coming off 'Captain America,' who's very internal and intimate, I'd love to play someone who wears their emotions on their sleeves, potentially to a fault.
You have the massive world that was created by Marvel, and then you have these very intimate actors around you. There was as much character work on this as there would be on a little independent film. So, I felt very fortunate in that sense.
