The emotions will take care of themselves. You don't have to prod them along. As a matter of fact, you get in trouble when you prod them along.

Writers love to write those idiotic, long stage directions, and some of them worse than others. They have nothing to do with the movie. They're just jerking around.

I'm really proud of the writing on Door to Door, and I think that's the Emmy that meant the most - the writing.

Sometimes, directors are afraid to stop shooting, because the second you stop and say, "We got it," and move on, you'll never get another chance. And they're terrified to get in the cutting room and not be happy. So they just keep shooting.

That red carpet has to be felt to be believed.

When a director makes a mistake, people suffer. People suffer horribly sometimes.

All that back-story stuff doesn't help. What you get paid for is to stand toe-to-toe with the other actor and get him to do your will.
