And for everyone, myself included, It's very difficult to say what you mean when what you mean is painful. The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to... As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all, we must dare to fail. You must have the courage to be bad - to be willing to risk everything to really express it all.<br /><br />Film is, to me, just unimportant. But people are very important<br /><br />I've always been able to work with anybody that doesn't want success. Jazz musicians don't want success... They have these little tin weapons - they don't shoot. They don't go anywhere. The jazz musician doesn't deal with the structured life - he just wants that night , like a kid.<br /><br />It doesn't matter if the words are written, because improvisation has been going on in films by everybody. There's nobody that doesn't improvise to some degree. So it just depends on what degree you need.<br /><br /><br />John Cassavetes<br /><br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcPIAFQh60M<br />Cinéastes de Notre Temps: John Cassavetes / Hubert Knapp; André S.
