You can finish the day's filming or the whole shoot or watch something months later and think you could have done it so much better. It's frustrating.

There's always pressure on filming. There's the weather, people, various different technical problems. There's always pressure! And there's never really enough time for anything, really!

The great thing about filming a film is that you all have your final day's shooting, but you always know that you're all going to be coming back for the premiere.

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.

Filming is about continuing to be alert and to think, and I find it quite exhausting.

But filming is good for you, because the crew isn't allowed to laugh. You can't get addicted to getting the laugh.

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

Filming is a witnessing process. You don't try to control it, even though sometimes you wish you could because it can go really, really wrong for you.

We have to look forward and keep filming new films and not get stuck in the past.

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.
