It's impossible to put your finger on what that is exactly other than protecting the environment that the actors get to find the scenes and build the scenes and invest in them. I think that's key and that's what I've learned from all the great directors I've worked with.

Starting with a party scene for 600 cast and end up singing on top of a giant elephant...does it get any better than this?

I love film people and actors and I am in the right world because I am one of those people.

I love acting and don't find it to be very hard. I recognize when I've nailed it, and I can be very proud of myself.

I worked as a waiter when I was 15 and got a chance to appreciate good, simple food. There's nothing better than a boiled egg with toast.

Everyone has to understand what we're saying to one another and there's no point in me thinking the line means this and the person I'm speaking to thinks it means something else. So there's a certain amount of analyzing of text that's of course necessary.

I want to wear skinny jeans when I'm in my 70s. Why not? Who cares?
