I didn't know you had to change diapers so often. I couldn't believe it - we must change them 10 times a day - each. So that's 20 diapers a piece a day.

As a director, I also get to sit and watch actors and learn from them in a way that I don't get to do when I'm just acting.

Image
I think it's important to have a good sense of humor and joke around with your kids. That's what I do a lot.

I'm actually one who will encourage directors to cut my lines.

I'm interested in how people shoot because I have a very specific way of shooting and I'm fascinated by the way other people shoot films, particularly if they're smart and talented.

As soon as the actor steps into the role, you probably can cut 50% of the lines because there's a person there now. And what a person does with their eyes, with their mouth, with their hands, the way they walk into a room, you can probably cut half the scene.

Sometimes we all make relationships more complicated than they necessarily have to be.
Stanley Tucci

3D movie is tedious, its tedious for everybody, it's hard for the crew, it's hard for the actors. It adds more time. It's more technically complicated, so that just adds more time and takes a little more time away from he acting and that's kind of frustrating but to say I'll never do 3D again that doesn't make any sense.

If you find that thing you love, it doesn't necessarily matter whether you do it well or not-you just need to do it.

As a director you have to be careful you don't over-design the film. You have to be careful that the period aspect does not take over.

I mean, Scorsese's a genius, and that's one way of shooting.

It's different if you're a painter. You can hidethe ones that don't work. You can't do that with movies. They tellthe story of who you are at the time, and that's the wonderful thingabout it.

This is the funny thing about Skype. No one is really looking into the camera. People always looking down because they're looking at the image. You wish the camera was there in the center.

You have to be serious about what you do but you mustn't take yourself seriously. That way you'll be happier and ultimately you'll be more successful. You'll be better at what you do.
