I think video is very useful, but it's very useful when you want a certain reality.

Camera's are cheap. It's the lenses that are expensive.

You know how hard it is to swim take after take and perform the next day swimming again? Me, I'm a terrible swimmer, but most actors with that tight schedule would be sick pretty quick.

I moved to Hollywood when I was 18. I never saw it as a disadvantage in any way. Quite the opposite.

You have to think of each stage of the movie and how it progresses, get into the state of mind of the character, and then match the camera to that, and keep making it tighter and tighter and crazier and crazier so people don't get bored. You know you cannot do a similar shot that you did at the beginning of the movie at the end.
