If you want something fast, ask for it on an apple box.

You can get an apple box faster than anything else on a set, maybe faster than anything anywhere in the world.

Encourage everybody to collaborate.

You’ll hear some terrible shit, but you’ll also get some ideas you’d never think of in a million years. Good ones.

Nap at lunch.

Cast your ass off.

It’s all in the casting.

Don’t hire a focus puller whose nickname is “Buzz”.

If you’re hot, do close-ups in your underwear.

Be polite.

Be a good man.

Laugh.

Whisper to your actors.

Hire your wife.
