Technician Quotes

But being a film actor is very different from, say, a theater actor. You get involved with a character after spending a long time waiting, and this demands a lot of energy and concentration.

And also, you always have to be at the right level when it`s time to shoot, which is not always the best time for the actor. Sometimes, if you`re shooting a complicated scene, you have to stay in a position and wait for the technician to do his job, and then you have to be where you`re supposed to be, right on the spot. You don`t rehearse all that much on films. If I think of the amount of time I spend on set compared with the time spent shooting, it`s ridiculously short.

Knowing that, we decided to load up on the USA comments. We knew that they weren`t all going to make their way through, but we also knew a good amount would. At that point, we were having fun with it. And I think it showed.
