I used to struggle a lot with dwelling on how the day at work was, and I would dwell on my performance. Now, I'm like, Well, that's over and done with, and I can't control the outcome, so move on. I just remember that it's entertainment I am making.

With film, so much is in the director's hands. Once something is cut together - unless you're in the editing room - you don't really remember what the alternatives are.
