“Being a conservative in Hollywood is like walking into a shooting range with a bull's-eye attached to your body.

“Playing with guns you revert to a little boy sometimes. But they're not great things to play with, so it's just making them look real. When it comes to shooting guns or using any prop, you've got to make it look like you know what you're doing with them. It's called acting.” KnowsLooksLittlesRealSometimesPlayActingBoysLike YouGunGreat ThingsShootingLittle BoysPropsShooting Guns Author:Ray Winstone
“When I first started working on movies as a production assistant, we were shooting 65, 75, 85 days. 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. For me, that's the biggest thing.” WayFeelsTryingFirstsKindMeanDoneMovingInterestingQualityLike YouBalanceShotsPerformancesImpactProductionsGrantedShootingThese DaysSchedulesMost InterestingAssistantsBest PerformanceGodzillaQuality WorkDeep Impact Author:Michael Sucsy

“It's not like you get up in the morning on the first day of shooting and say, 'I'm so smart today I'm going to determine every choice I make from now until a year and a half from now.'

“I could only shoot when the subway was on the other platform. Little things like that, and the platform is very narrow. It's not like you can hide if a subway comes so a lot of things happened because of that. Or a thousand people just came and looked straight into the lens like they didn't expect a movie to be shooting.” PeopleIfsLittlesHappenedLike YouThousandThings HappenShootingLittle ThingsPlatformsLensesSubway Author:Jaume Collet-Serra
“Doing reality TV is hard. You get lost. You are shooting three months before anybody sees it. So you are past [the emotions]. Then when it airs and the public sees it, they react and it drags you back.
