This applies to many film jobs, not just editing: half the job is doing the job, and the other half is finding ways to get along with people and tuning yourself in to the delicacy of the situation.

I enjoy editing when I'm directing, but when someone else is directing, that's their film to cut.
Editing is not a part of the filmmaking process I've ever been privy to as an actress.
Editing is where movies are made or broken. Many a film has been saved and many a film has been ruined in the editing room.
Editing is a natural extension of the collage making. It's actually one of the few areas that women were able to excel in in the film industry from the beginning.
It's like you take these great actors and put them in an aquarium of life and just watch them swim. That's what makes editing tough because you get all these beautiful, unplanned moments.
Same thing with film, by the time you've finished shooting and you've really been into everything, you've touched up everything in the editing room. You've gone in there and taken little bits from everything.
Editing is kind of a solitary job.
Sometimes when you're editing a movie, you have the thing that you don't expect - which is you make it longer and longer as you go along.
I love editing. It's one of my favorite parts about filmmaking.
That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.
