For the actors, there's something very important about that first showing of the scene to the crew, becomes like a little performance.

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.

My wife's French. I mean I speak a bit of French but I've lived amongst French, you know, most of my adult life.
