Film and stage are very different; I don't necessarily prefer one over the other. Every few years, I get a big itch to go back to the theater.

Film and television are just different. Film is cool because it's a complete package. You know the beginning, middle, and end. You can plan it out more, which I like. But with television you get a new script every week, so it's constantly a mystery as to what you're going to be doing.
‐‐ Austin Butler

Film and television are so piecemeal. You do one scene, and then you put it to bed, and then you do a scene that comes before. In a play, you have to go from beginning to end every night, and that's harder, but also more fulfilling in a way.

‐‐ Adam Rapp

Film directing is really undermined if you attempt to do it by committee because there has to be a single vision as to how to tell a story. It's like if you were at a campfire, and everyone is taking turns to give one sentence in telling a horror story. It would be a mess - it's not going to make sense.
‐‐ Duncan Jones

Film, for me, is in two stages. One is when I write the script more or less on my own - that's the nice bit.

When they go into the editing room, I come in again, and that's the bit I like.
