Well, that's what's great, is that, you know, it doesn't matter who it is. And I really think the best actors, I mean, you know, like Alan and the rest of the guys, are so interested in trying anything that they very much want a reaction. And what was interesting, as you said before, is that each person wants that reaction in a different way.

I mean, some people don't want you to say certain things, and other people do want you to say certain things. And that's the fun part, is this instinctual idea of, figuring out what it is that they need at what time, including sometimes being a little bit... pushing a little bit more than they might want at the time. But there's a mutual understanding of what you're doing.

Oh, I pushed them all at different times in different ways, you know. But it's all different how you push them. Because sometimes pushing just means... Let's do another take right now really fast. And they go, well, wait.

And you say, no, it has to be really fast because, you know, we're really in, and you sort of discombobulate them on purpose because you feel like perhaps we're getting into a kind of rut and it's getting too precious and people are getting too conscious of what they're saying and you want to.

And I've taken to do weird things like, you know, I demand silence all the time from everybody on the crew and everything. I'm always barking about that. And then I get total silence. And then when it's ready to go, I scream, not cut. What do I scream? Action. One of those two things. And just scream, action! Like as loud as I can, which is like really startling.

And then the actor's got to start saying his line. But it's sort of like sometimes you see them standing there and they're getting too much into a plan of what they're going to do. And you want them to forget their plan and let whatever happens going to happen. And so it's all different things of doing.
