“Phantom' was for me an interesting technique of telling the story. You have one voice that it is in the present telling what is happening, and then there's one voice from the past that's also driving the story forward. And you know that the two story lines will meet eventually.” KnowsTwoStoriesPastVoiceLinesInterestingHappeningsTechniqueDrivingPhantoms Author:Jo Nesbo

“I never wanted to accept the position of the observer who is not involved in the situation. The technique and the aesthetics do not matter to me. Only the essence of what is happening is important to me.

“I don't think I had any idea at the time how to work with someone as masterful as he is. And I don't think at the time I really understood what was happening. I think I was in a space where I was like: there are all these things. I was shooting all these takes with David, and I was just confused, as a person, and as an actor feeling a little too big for my britches and that this thing was happening and then also not having enough skill yet, and technique to know exactly where I was, and know about the character.” ThinkingKnowsLittlesPersonsIdeasEnoughCharacterFeelingsBigsActorsSpaceSkillsHappeningsUnderstoodTechniqueShootingConfused Author:Jake Gyllenhaal
“The linebacker has to make multiple, multiple decisions on every play. Not only what his assignment is and what the play is, but all the way along the line, different angles, how to take on blocks, how to tackle, the leverage to play with, the angle to run to and so forth, the technique. So many different things happen in a split second during the course of the play, just like it is for a quarterback. The more of those things that you can do right, slow down, get the most important things, not get distracted by all the stuff that's happening, but just really zero in on a target.” WayImportantDifferentPlayHappensRunningCoursesStuffCan DoLinesDecisionHappeningsImportant ThingsTechniqueThings HappenBlockDifferent ThingsTargetZeroSplitsMultipleAngleSlow DownDistractedQuarterbackAssignmentsDifferent AnglesLinebackers Author:Bill Belichick
