Express yourself, don't hurt yourself.
Tommy Wiseau
All topics, issues, and subjects in 'The Room' add to the depth of the characters in the movie, and they are equally important.
I studied movies for many years, but I am professionally an actor because I, my background is actually a stage actor and acting.
When people sometimes misquote me, I don't know if they understand what I'm saying.
I am pro-freedom.
My background is in psychology and I'm also a stage actor. That's my background.
When I was little kid, I used to want to be a rock star.
As a filmmaker and an actor, my job is to react towards people, but I want a reaction from them.
I like a lot of classic movies, like, for example, 'Citizen Kane', James Dean movies, etc, etc.
I want to be always actor.
'The Room' is relationships. The room is you and me and everyone in America. That's basically what 'The Room' is.
I always say that you don't have to like 'The Room', but you will discover something - maybe a tiny little thing - and say, 'Wait a minute, maybe I want to see more.'
As a director, I have to feel realism from actors, and they can't be plastic.
I'm not a god, I'm just a simple guy.
I am pro-expression. I am pro - you know, as long as you don't hurt anyone.
I'm going to do more movies and travel.
I like vampires.
We have many Lisas, Marks, Dennys, Johnnys, and other characters from 'The Room' in America and in the entire world.
I'm satisfied with the way 'The Room' turned out, and I don't want to change anything.
I inspire myself.
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.
You cannot have the drama without comedy.
When I was a little kid, I wanted to be, like, you know, a movie star, you know? Or, I always have interest in movie, you know? Because I like the visual aspect of the movies, et cetera.
I'm not here to criticize anyone.
I like acting better than anything else, but, you know, directing's good.
My take on it, like a filmmaker or actor, is if you have much more colors within your creation, eventually people will appreciate what you're doing, and the other stuff is secondary, like critiques or even awards or anything else, as long as people enjoy it.
