"Don't be intimidated by your actors. Don't be scared. You're there to find it together. But I actually think one of the best things that a film director today can do for an actor is not be stuck in Video Village, not be watching it on a monitor, and not be watching it on a TV set sitting in your chair, oftentimes in a whole other room. But then where the scene's taking place. I mean, that's a fairly new phenomenon, and it's completely taken over. And I mean, so much so that I really wouldn't want to be starting all over again as an actor with the directors watching my work from another room. 'Hey, do this.' 'You know what camera look?' 'Could you tell him to don't do a camera right?' 'Right.' I think you should be sitting right by the camera. If you watch the acting right next to the cam, right in front of the actors, it's as if they are acting just and solely and utterly only for you." - Quentin Tarantino.
