The first Matrix genius, the second one, what's up with the dancing? I haven't even seen the third one.

Choreography is writing on your feet.

Directing is very close to choreography; you deal with space, time, emotions, lighting, making beautiful images.

While filming 'The Matrix,' we studied how a Chinese fight-choreography team trains actors before production starts so that they can participate in action sequences in a more dynamic way.

Then came the choreography... the impact of music and choreography tends to really emphasize an overall feeling of what you really want out of the program.

I feel I can handle the architecture of dance as well as anybody.

Choreography is mentally draining, but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music.

Maybe because I come from choreography, I've always felt that there's something about action films that made it very natural for me to go that way. It's story through movement.

A choreographer deals with the movement that you create, and with a creative director it's about the story, the stage, the lighting, the costuming, executing someone's idea, choosing how far to go or how little to go, and blending it so that you feel it, you're emotionally effected.

I had always choreographed a little, beginning in high school. And I leaned toward choreography. I always had an overview of what was going on.
