“It's interesting for me to do the commentary with the actors because, as a director, you're so in your own world that you see it from your perspective, your issues and what you were trying to do, and then it's really very fun to hear their perspective on how it was to do a particular scene or how they felt, and sometimes, I didn't even know that, at the time.” KnowsWorldTryingSometimesActorsFunFeltInterestingIssuesParticularPerspectiveSceneDirectorsCommentary Author:Catherine Hardwicke
“I came from advertising. For me it's about protecting the director's vision. That's always the goal.

“Every day is still exciting. I have like a very good system worked out with my editor. Some directors are in there every day, sitting there in the room with the editor.
