They find other ways of expressing things that don't throw the other characters off that aren't going to sabotage the company because they suddenly come up with a better idea than the playwright.

They're not going to do that.

Or some of them, most of them are not going to do that.

But I find that if an actor who's had a lot of stage experience, he really desires more takes.

And I'm fine.

And if an actor comes to me and says, when I work with Leo, Leo likes to watch his own takes.

When I did Catch Me If You Can with DiCaprio, he likes to go to the monitor after every take and look at the take back.

And it gives him ideas.

And he says, let me have one more.

Let me have one more.

So I might do 9, 10, 11 takes because Leo feels he hasn't explored it sufficiently.

So I will wait for Leo to tell me when he thinks he's got it.

I'm not going to be a big...

overseer, you know, as a director and say, no, I think it was great on take four.

We're, we're moving on.

If I got a schedule problem, if I'm losing the light and we're racing the light, yeah, I'm going to be a little more cut.

Come on.

I hope you felt that enough because we're not doing it again.

We can't do it again.

But short of that, I'm going to let an actor tell me when they think they've given me their best take.
