To work with somebody you love makes filming faster, more fun.

When you're filming, you work 19-hour days and you know more about what's going on with your crew and co-workers than you do with your husband. You're away, you miss things. It's taxing. Relationships fail because of it.

You can work with someone who's an amazing actor, and if they hate the role they're doing, it's uncomfortable to watch and uncomfortable to work with. When you're working with someone who loves what they're doing, it's just such a joy.

My deal is that I pay more attention to whatever job I have than the relationships I have. Now, if I had considered my job to be a wife and mother, then I would have been pretty good at it. But I didn't consider it a job. I thought it was like brushing your teeth - it's not fun, it's just something you do to keep your teeth from falling out.

I love that you work out relationships with people as you're filming just to get something real to play on screen.

In a show or a movie, one must work with many people. Many women just don't have the time for it.

Despite the demands of this job, one of the things my wife and I try to do is to spend time together alone. And one of the things we really enjoy doing together is seeing a good movie.

For working with non-professional actors, you have to have this particular desire to work with people who are reluctant to play in a movie. I like this relationship. I'm like a recruiter, an employment agency giving someone employment.
