Other than obvious errors like forgetting a line, often I can't see any difference between take one and take 20.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm an impatient person, so it's hard for me to sit around and do take after take after take.
What I learned very quickly is that if you get it right in the first two or three takes, it's not going to get that much better.
When I do a take, I very often try things that I haven't planned to try to see if I can pull it off.
Whether it's a double take or a spit take or an extra-long pause before a reaction or a line, I try to be as cognizant as possible about the technical end of it. So I think the physical stuff works easier for me than maybe for others who are more just going on instinct.
In life you get one take, and it's perfect.
I mean, the general rule is if you're not prepared to make a mistake, you're not going to make much progress.
As far as pacing the shoot is concerned, I know when I've got it. I don't think there's any reason to take ten takes unless you need them.
Sometimes when you're making more errors you want to pull back, but I just need to keep going forward.
Take without forgetting, and give without remembering.
I do better on the first three takes; I won't be better at 20 takes.
