Every single director stops at the moment he thinks he has the shot. Sometimes, directors shoot an establishing shot where everything is in the shot. He's going to use this at the beginning and the end.

When you make a movie, you do it so piecemeal. You're doing it, not only scene by scene, out of order, but shot by shot, line by line. And there's this idea that the director has the whole thing in his or her head and they're going to somehow weave it all together in the end.
All directors make films in individual ways. But the classical kind of view of filmmaking is that you have a script, and it's very linear. There's a script, then you're going to shoot the script ,and then you cut that, and then that's the end of the film. And that's never really been how I've seen it.
An actor really suffers when the director isn't prepared because you start running out of time for the shoot and then have to do it fast.
By the first week of shooting, you know exactly where your film is heading based on the psychology of your director.
I think that's the key to being a director: to be able to get the shot and move on quickly.
When you direct a movie, you're basically looking at a story, the way you want to look at it. You bring that director's vision, and I'm totally open for that.
The point of having a director is that they make the final decision; it's their point of view, they set the rhythm and they make the final decisions.
Ultimately in the end, it's the director's choice.
A film director has to get a shot, no matter what he does. We're desperate people.
It doesn't matter who's directing, or who's doing the movie; there are a ton of things that can go wrong, and they do all the time. So you just have to figure out how to get through it, and then how the director finally puts it together, and then see what the audience takes from it. That's the most important thing to me.
