Adrianne Lenker
'Birdman' came from a very beautiful side of me, from a part of honesty and surrender about things.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
All my films I have shot in chronological order - always. And the reason is that there's a moment that the screenplay is the notion of the film. But when you start doing a film... the work itself starts being transformed, and you have to surrender.
If I only acted, I feel like I wouldn't have enough creative expression over my own sensibility, and also if I only acted, the notion of surrendering my fate and future to other people is deeply unsettling to me and it would make me uncomfortable.
Alex Karpovsky

Armistead Maupin

Meryl Streep doesn't care how she looks. She just surrenders to the truth of the character. Not everybody has the ability to do that. They look good and they can pretend to be that person, it's not the same as being that person. And there are not many actors who will surrender to that.

Control and surrender have to be kept in balance. That's what surfers do - take control of the situation, then be carried, then take control.
