By The First Week Of Shooting, You

I'd Prefer Not To Act In The Film I'm Directing. I Think, Though, As An Actor, You Do Learn How To Turn Things On And Off Quickly And Kind Of Compartmentalize. You Learn To Accommodate The Camera And The Other Actors, To Notice Where The Boom Is And Where You Mark Is, And Be Able To Repeat Something A Few Times.

So, Yes, There's Nothing I Love More Than Listening To Directors Talk About Their Movies.

Casting Is A Long Process For Me. I Take A Lot Of Time.

I Didn't Work Very Much When They Were Young, And I Had The Luxury To Be Able To Do That. Most People Can't.

I Also Feel Like I've Learned Over The Years What Is Not Important, And That Is Also Great: To Know What Is Pointless To Spend Your Energy On, To Be More Specific.
