I've always felt it's the directors purview to say what; it's the actor's purview to say how. It's not good for an actor to have the big picture in mind - it bollocks you up. An actor's purview is the tiny little... We measure our performance in seconds.

With an inexperienced director, a lot of times the days go on to 14, 15, 16 hours. It goes horrendously overtime. And because of the lack of money, they just keep you there, regardless of the hours.

Just learn the whole script before you start shooting. That makes shooting a joy. Even if they rewrite, it's easy.

It's hard to be depressed around a ukulele. You just pick it up and you're halfway home.

To a certain extent. I'm a fan of rehearsal on the day [of the shoot], more than getting together a week beforehand.

Stephen King writes a lot of things that are really charming and quirky, and that are more ironic than horror.

I have a tendency to say 'yes' to a script or no to a script. Not 'yes' based on a rewrite.
