You can't turn the heat up enough. My diet usually consists of stress and protein shakes. Keeps you young. I First AD movies and music videos. Which means I run the set, do all the yelling, get the shots off for my director, schedule the actors and the movie. It's non-stop, "always on" kind of work.I spend the off hours listening to the story of civilization By Will Durrant on tape, studying (for me, not a class), writing, hitting the climbing gym and reading a few comic books. I am fascinated by things that make you stretch and often hurt.The moment in E.T. when Elliot and his friends are on their bicycles and they shoot up into the sky and travel past the moon defines what I love most in life. Little boyhood dreams. Little moments of magic.
