I mean, granted some of those things were "Godzilla," "Deep Impact," and those kinds of things, but these days it's like 30-35 days or 40-45 days and you just feel like you're humping trying to get everything done. It's like "Move on, move on, move on!" That's not the way to get the best performances or the most interesting shots. You have to constantly balance schedule and quality of work.

You have more breathing room.” LongCharacterAbleAbilityRoomsNiceTelevisionLike YouPeriodsShotsPerformancesSticksBreathingMore TimeReally GreatLong Periods Of Time Author:Christina Ricci
