“I don't actually like blocking actors. I prefer giving actors freedom....” — Jose Padilha Quote

I don't actually like blocking actors. I prefer giving actors freedom. They don't have to step on a precise mark with me. Instead of giving marks to the actors I like to give marks to the camera.

As it turns out, what looks like science sometimes is not.

Pretty soon we'll have robots in our society, you're going to have a lot of automated processes that used to be done by people - this is happening. Society and technology is changing so fast, and the impact of the change on society and technology is global, not local.

How do you make RoboCop? How do you slowly bring a guy to be a robot? How do you actually take humanity out of someone and how do you program a brain, so to speak, and how does that affect an individual?

For me, rehearsal is only about blocking and pacing; it's not about performance.

I enjoy blocking shots. It's kind of a rush.

I just enjoy getting rebounds, getting putbacks, blocking shots and setting good screens. That's what I feel good about.

When I'm out there flying around, blocking shots, dunking the ball, grabbing rebounds it brings everybody's spirits up and gets them going.

I've been thinking about my life, my loss of friends, relationships, opportunities, money, my values. There's also the loss of relationship with my son and my daughter, who I've only met once. All that loss - I just got so good at blocking it out.
