Quote of the day

You have to know everything. You have to know how to light a scene. You have to know all this technical stuff about directing. No, you don't. You can know as much or as little as you have to. Your main job is to get great performances and tell the story correctly and capture it correctly. Then it's just basically yours to complicate or simplify as much as you want.

The main story that you see on the TV screen is maybe like the living room of a house. But there are various other rooms in this house that you will otherwise never see.
