I'm really specific in the way that I shoot. I've always had a very good sense of what I need in the editing room.

I think when you pay attention to the shots, you're aware of the fact that there's a director.
Jason Reitman

Philip Seymour Hoffman

Good, Together, Made

Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You've got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I've got my Freud mixed up. It's just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit.

When you're doing a TV show, it's not like you just shoot for six weeks and you're in an editing room with all of your footage. It's like a guitar or a car, you have to fine tune things. You stop doing what's not working, you work on what is working and you add things that do work.
Chris Pratt

Work, Car, Guitar
