Trying Quotes by Atom Egoyan

Atom Egoyan

Every actor has a different temperament. Part of my job is to know what those boundaries are. The actor has to know you’ll be there at the other end, that you’re trying to represent them in the best light, who they are as they’re harnessing these roles. The methods vary from actor to actor.

I think in the ’80s, when I started making films, we were all suspicious of these technologies. We were all convinced they would filter out any emotion and sense of intimacy, and the films I made during that period reflected that. In fact, what has happened is the opposite. I think we’re saturated with a degree of intimacy we would never have expected, and we’re trying to sort through this idea of complete access to each other’s lives on an ongoing basis. Our emotions aren’t filtered out at all. They’re actually accelerated.
