Okay, see, but this is totally fascinating to me because a lot of the actors who I have spoken to absolutely will not watch themselves on playback because I mean, someone like Adam Driver, for instance, I profiled him. He won't ever watch anything he's in. And if you try to make him, he'll run to the bathroom and throw up. How does that not make you get inside your own head, self-conscious?

What are you getting out of watching yourself as you are shooting?

Well, you know, interesting enough, I don't like to watch the final product. I also don't back in the day when we had dailies, I hated dailies. Because dailies are that's the footage that you shot that day. So you've already shot it. And it used to be that people would watch their own dailies. And then I don't know, but it made me feel sick. Because I can't change it at that point. I've done it.

But I love playback. Because playback, I'm like, oh, there's the frame. There's the camera movement. That's where I am. That's what, oh, that lens is bigger than I thought. Oh, I'm further away. I need to do. So playback helps me adjust. Storyboards are fantastic. I like to look through the lens. All of those things inform what I'm doing. Once it's done, forget it. I don't want to see that.

That's like, that's a mess, you know, but in the process of making it, it's very exciting to watch it.

I mean, that's probably partly why you're such a director's actor, because that's a kind of directing of yourself, like analyzing how you look in a frame and figuring out what to change. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I get, you know, yeah, I feel like it's a tool, right? You know, I'm always like, what do they see? What are they communicating? You know, everything in film is a kind of a communication. You know, that's why I always hate the let's see what happens kind of directing because I'm like, no, or the script is a blueprint. I'm like, no, the script is not a blueprint. It's specific.
