I'm spending way too much time test running my Vine videos. I'll go into a room and close the door and be in there for an hour workshopping a Vine video that I never even post. So that's probably a huge time suck.

I've done 20 takes of a Vine before it goes out.

Sometimes filming can be grueling when you're shooting the same scene for a week, or you're sitting around for 7 hours a day. They sound like very first-world champagne problems. I don't mean to sound like life is so hard, but filming sometimes is tougher than other times.

I make film to make time pass.

I do my work to the best of my capacity. I don't pick a role looking at its length. I take up a film because I would like to see it.

To make a film is eighteen months of your life. It's seven days a week. It's twenty hours a day.

We ended up with 19 hours of footage and had to narrow it down to an hour and a half. Our instructions were to film everything that came up, including the more mundane moments.

When you're filming for seven months or six months at a time, you bond with people hugely.

A lot of filmmaking is an endurance contest between you and the people you're filming. Every time that you relax, I promise you, something interesting will happen.
