Quote:
"When I arrived on my set [for My American Cousin], my first A.D. [Assistant Director] said, 'Would you like a binder?' And I said, 'What for?' And he said, 'Well, to put your script in.' I said, 'I've written the script, I know the script. What do I need the script for?' This is from documentaries where you don't go out with a script. [...] Next, my cameraman Richard Leiterman says to me, 'Sandy, can I see your shot list?' I replied, 'You mean my story board?' [...] He said, 'No, Sandy, I mean your shot list. ' And I said, 'You know, I've heard a lot about shot lists but I don't know exactly what they are.' [...] Richard Leiterman carried me for that day. [...] I learned very quickly how to do my shot list, how to do my homework. I carried my script with me. I put it in a big red binder—that became the bible. I felt naked without it. [...] I took a few days to figure out what I was supposed to do as the director. And then we started to really cook. I loved it. It's a wonderful thing when everybody is contributing their very best."
