It happens a lot, but I also think of it as not so much like being abandoned by a director 'cause they're worried about a technical aspect, but I think actually that's my job.

It's funny to see the finished product of a movie, stuff that's so beautiful, and to remember the particulars.

I find that all great directors, and I would include Ben Affleck and Clint Eastwood in that, they have great confidence. And with great confidence comes great freedom for the actor.

Usually in stories there are big problems in the beginning or couples are pulling away, there's a lot of bitterness.

You try to follow suit and the directors I work with, like Sidney Lumet (on film in Before The Devil Knows You're Dead and TV in 100 Centre Street) who thinks actors hung the moon, thinks they can do anything, but he also works really quickly, the same like Clint Eastwood, and so you better also do your homework, you know?

If your body is excited to do something, that's what you should be doing. Or if it really scares you, you should be doing it.
