A good director is very well prepared, and knows exactly how he's going to cut the film, so the shooting is as efficient as possible.

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

The actor has the advantage - or the liability - of knowing, "It's going to be my face up there on the frickin' screen, so I better keep my wits about me. Nobody's going to care that I was bad because I was not happy. They're only going to know I'm bad."
