I think, for different types of things, more rehearsal is very important.

The process of rehearsal means you learn so much and really get the chance to develop your work on a character.

In general, I don't even have the luxury of rehearsal time on most films that I make. It is just a scene-by-scene full cast read through. It's very much just doing the rehearsal sometimes the day before, at the end of the day, but just on the spot as the scene unfolds.

There's actually something interesting about having no rehearsal time - you have to just walk in and go with your gut, which is exciting.

I like to do everything you can possibly do before you go into rehearsal, because once we are in rehearsal or on the stage there will be a problem I didn't anticipate. It's really good to think we got it all nailed - of course you've never got it all nailed.

I don't do a lot of rehearsal. I don't like rehearsals. I rehearse the day or morning. I spend one hour and a half with all the actors, and we go over the scenes, and we change it and change the dialogue, and we do a lot of things to it, but prior to shooting, I don't really rehearse.

The rehearsal is where it all happens for an actor.

I feel that once you go into rehearsal, you need to focus on the show in the room.

I'm not one to dwell on rehearsal or preparation.

The rehearsal process is the most important thing to me, so working with colleagues who are effusive, thoughtful, young and vivacious is really inspiring as a musician.
