And even to the point where it got to, you know, where once we had done enough takes where we both felt like we really had it, we would always do one crazy one. And that's who we just call it a crazy one because to try something just that was a stupid idea. But it's amazing how many of the crazy ones are in there.

That's very interesting. I think exactly that. I have thought about that because I had one experience where I... did that and it was hell. I directed an episode of Twin Peaks and it was in the second season and they asked me in the first season and I couldn't do it.

So they asked me at the beginning of the second season and I said yes and I made this commitment and thinking it would be like the first season. By the time I got there, David Lynch had totally abandoned the thing and The scripts, he was not putting input into the writing of the script. He was off in Tokyo selling his art.
