As a director, it’s my job to provoke, and when people decided ‘The Room’ be called a phenomenon, or whatever you call it, it’s fine with me.
Millions of filmmakers would love to be in my position right now. If you are honest it makes the world a better place. I created the room with my passion and after all these years it finally worked out.
People bring flowers and that’s pretty memorable. I actually got a rose from one girl. She was so beautiful! I love all the screenings to be honest with you. I don’t think I have gone to one single bad screening! Even if negative things happen, I turn it into positive reaction.
I have been doing this for eight years now so the negative things do not effect me as much as they did at the beginning.
The room is a special place. It’s not “A room” it’s THE room. It’s a place where there is no restriction. If we title it “a room” it can be any room but it’s THE room so it is a special place. We all have this place. It’s like our little corner that you are comfortable with.
As a director and an actor, it is very difficult to say “this person was better than another person.” I judge by chemistry of the actors but it is difficult being a judge. I will never bash any of the actors.
I am just a simple guy and I like when people enjoy themselves. I always say: you can laugh, you can cry, you can express yourself but please don’t hurt each other. I really don’t know, to be honest with you. I’m very impressed with everything that has happened.
One person actually asked me to marry them! Overall all they have a great respect for me and they know who I am and I am very open about it. In Los Angeles, we actually had two screenings because so many people showed up!
I personally think that all the scene that you see, love scene, is pretty real, almost 100 percent.
You know the difference between guys and girls? Usually girls say it’s no different whatsoever. But you see, a lot of girls they don’t understand that they are better than us guys. If you think about it, they are much more manipulative.
If you are referring to the characters of The Room, each character has a different personality which you can see very clearly on the screen. If you are referring to the actors, they give me different emotions, personality which represents human behavior.
My background are acting, film production, directing, and I studied them for many years. Keep in mind that you need many other skills when you are starting any film project related to real life.
I love San Francisco, and it offers spectacular scenery of the city, and it adds to the uplifting quality of the movie.
I always wanted to work with a TV. So I’m open.
The reason I’m doing a sitcom is because it’s much more approachable.
The film is better for me than the sitcom. But the sitcom is like much more practical approach, if I may say that, because of the cost. Everything costs money, a lot of people don’t realize that.
I attend film school, my background is acting and directing. But the acting does best, I like to work on the stage.
I like rock music. I also like classical, if you ask me. I’m very adaptable, they say that. But I have certain preference too, be honest.
I don’t like, speaking about the movie, if I may say couple more words, I like a movie that doesn’t drag too much, unless it’s purpose. I like a movie with an action with a certain pace. If it’s too monotone, I hate it. No, I don’t hate it, I just don’t like it, period.
I usually don’t like to talk about money, but I talk about the movie, and the other aspects of directing, etc.
Think about who you are. Think about how nice you can be to another person. By the same token then, to have your own opinion about life, you as an individual, with respect. But I think that’s what the key to success is.
