I love the interplay with other smart and creative people who have got better ideas than I do and that I can bring something to, as well.

A successful director is someone who has the combination of skills that you can learn, but there's also an intuitive sensibility that they bring to it, that they've developed on their own and that is singular to them.

You want to feel appreciated, definitely. I think I've been very lucky to have a long enough career, so that I do get this kind of feedback.

I was working with actors who were very easy to work with, but I can just imagine how, with all the other decision-making problems that come up along the way, in addition to that, the whole point of what your doing is following performance and character development. You're building your story with those building blocks, and it is not easy. I've only come out with more respect for directors, from this.

You certainly can't be a perfect person, coming up with the 100% correct solution, all the time. It's just a combination of a chain of good decisions that comes up with a successful product or a successful film. That's what you hope for. But, nothing about the system is 100% fool proof.

One of the things I've always tried to do in filmmaking is that you don't tell the story, you try to show it.

The advantages of a virtual production pipeline are that you can reduce the footprint of your production down to the size of the stage.
