The other thing is that when you're in a movie, I always say this, the communication with the director is what you do between action and cut. It's not what you say outside of it. Here's what I think we want to do in the scene. All that can be great to get there, but really your communication is what you do between action and cut.

And the best thing that can happen is when you have an idea what you want to do in a scene. You don't say it to anybody. Then you do the scene. And they come back and you go, you know why I love that? Here's what I got from the scene. And they go, pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa. And you pull your paper out of your pocket and you go, that's exactly what I wrote.

I wrote down what I wanted to do, what I wanted to hopefully come across. You just said, and there it is. I had written it down beforehand. That's kind of a kismet moment when that can happen. Yeah. So I think no. No, you know, I don't like the word no. Best Directors started off with this with Linkletter. You know, listen, we call it verbal ping pong.

But it's a forward-moving process. You're figuring out. And he's directing me, redirecting me through the give and the take and the flow of the creative, but never going, no. Not that. Boom. Axles will go, whoa, you just gave me a red light. Yeah. You just stunted my growth. My creativity just stopped. Now anything you tell me to do after this, it's your idea, not mine. Come on, man.

I can operate independently, but I like approval of it. Because there's times where, and I've tried to close these gaps, meaning there's what we intend to do, there's what we actually do, there's what gets recorded, and there's what gets edited. Trying to close all those gaps.

And over 35 years, I have been able to close the gaps where what I'm wanting to do is pretty close to what I'm doing, which is pretty close to what's getting recorded. Hopefully what's going to get edited. Yeah. But sometimes it's not. And I need that director to go, come here. I know what you're trying to do, but come look at it.

And I'll watch the scene and go, oh, that's not what's coming across. Gotcha. Maybe that's the angle. Maybe that's me. But sometimes there's a larger gap. Here's what I thought I was doing. Maybe it was, but it's not captured. Or maybe what you thought you were doing is not actually what you were doing.
