Learning religiously

I've been acting for 11 years in Los Angeles, and so just being on the sets [helped].

In fact, by the time I got to Buffy I'd been on way too many sets. My brain had been stuffed with different ways of [working]. You watch other directors and how they work, and other writers and how they work.

It's like religion - you learn about them all and then you take what you want from each and apply it to your life. So, I've watched different people and how they work and I tried to take bits and pieces of their work.
