As I get older, I think that things have been pre-determined for me, whether I liked it or wanted it, wished for it, whatever, way before in some way. And with others, you do have a choice that you can change. And that choice that you make is still part of this grand scheme.

If you have that with a director who then knows how to shape it, either in the direction, in the moment, or in the editing, then that's good.
