If all else fails, you can always be a pro.

Normally when it hits two and a half, three hours, the audience gets exhausted and start yawning.

Everyone is sort of in their own little area counting lines and no one talks when film's not rolling. There's constantly actors coming to me back behind the monitor screaming at me, "Why did my line count drop?" It's a nasty tense environment.

I'm just a giant film fan, so I love action movies out of all kinds of movies. As a film geek, it's amazing to be able to shoot this stuff.

Creative freedom is a huge carrot.

As for movies, what's great about comedy is that if your movie gets laughs and makes money, you have freedom.

I would never call myself cultural elite, but you might be cultural elite.
