The Duffers can be super articulate or very straight to the point. I was really impressed with how they were with each other.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Dolls were an attitude. If nothing else they were a great attitude.
Very interesting for an old duffer like me to try his hand at something new. If I don't do that once in a while, I might just turn into a fossil, you know!
I shudder at the image they would piece together.
As the daughter of two teachers with first-class degrees, I'd always seen myself as a duffer by comparison.
Knowing that we were doing good work and the stories were good. They were original and charming. They weren't particularly violent or sexy or any of that. They were just unique and that had a good feel to it.
The way Disney characters move, they're very kind of slow and fluid and flowing; one pose kind of eases into the next. If you look at a show like 'The Simpsons' and subsequently a show like 'Family Guy' - the characters will jerk from pose to pose a lot, a bit more snappy. Which sort of goes along with the writing tone of the show.
When I was filming, I imagined that Legolas was a meditative character who was very thoughtful and had a certain amount of depth to him. I started working on trying to find this focus that Legolas has, which wasn't really like me.
You often hear this about directors, how it's like having the best set of toys. This fabulous train set, the biggest box of toys that a kid could possibly have. The best directors look like a kid having more fun than you're supposed to have.
The only real elegance is in the mind; if you've got that, the rest really comes from it.
I've been really lucky not to have a duff experience with a director.
