What's great is when you're working with somebody with whom you have a connection, it's exciting because there's a shorthand and you trust each other and you have a good time together on the set and so you can go a little farther than you might normally because you're with somebody that you trust.

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.
Stanley Tucci
Image
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.
