First, thank you for doing this. One of the first books I read that got me in to the idea of being in the Film/TV industry was Sayles on Sayles. That was a little over ten years ago and now I'm somewhat in the industry, but that knowledge, all though a bit hazy now, has never left.
One of things that fascinates me is the relationship between actors and directors. How would you describe your relationship, or how do you direct them?
Also, in what order do you block/work with talent, place camera, and shoot the scene?
And if you have time, just to pick your brain - Do you give yourself a lot of coverage? Thoughts on the use of multiple cameras? Which do you love more, wides or close ups?
