"I have a fine level of recognition in the business and among the acting community now, so I consider..." — Philip Seymour Hoffman

The film is made in the editing room. The shooting of the film is about shopping, almost. It's like going to get all the ingredients together, and you've got to make sure before you leave the store that you got all the ingredients. And then you take those ingredients and you can make a good cake - or not.

Directing is a really kind of amazing thing, because you're helping others and, in the middle of that, you have to worry about yourself.

It's important to say that actors can't act alone, it's impossible. What we have to do is support each other.
