I don't want to run around and look at a shot through a monitor. That doesn't improve what I'm trying to do. I figure, once I've done my job, it's none of my business.

Continuity is a wonderful thing, and it is a very rare thing in show business.

I can't really envision a time when I'm not shooting something.

You have to relax when you're shooting an arrow. You can't be tense. And that just helps, in your day-to-day life.

I film quite a bit of footage, then edit. Changes before your eyes, things you can do and things you can't. My attitude is always 'let it keep rolling.'

There's no continuity in videos... you can jump around all over the place. In features, you can't throw in a close-up of a musician stomping on a guitar - you have to film a scene.

During the shoot, when you're not at work, you're learning lines for the next shoot, and that can be all-consuming.

There are times when I am directing, and there are a couple of moments I didn't get the way I wanted, but I know I still have other angles to shoot and I have to be done by noon; I move on.

It's going to sound ridiculous, but knowing how to pose, how to maintain a level of engagement and variation for a day of shooting, is actually a skill.
