- [on being nominated for an editing Emmy for 'The Haunting Hour'] I think any nomination is a validation. There's an old saying that a script is written three times: once on paper, once on the set, and again in editing. So it's really a nice nod.
- [on the work of a film editor] We cut by performance. We try to find the best performance that tells the story, and the next performance, and the next performance. And the shots. A wide shot might say more than the close-up on a particular line of dialogue, or no lines of dialogue.
