Wentworth Miller
I started shooting ‘The Defenders’ two days after I wrapped’ Friday Night Lights.’ I was doing research for ‘The Defenders’ throughout – interviewing lawyers and sitting in courtrooms just to watch – but there’s something fun about throwing yourself in the water and learning by doing.
Jurnee Smollett-Bell
You do need to edit yourself as you shoot because you have fewer options in a smaller movie. In other words, when I’m shooting a big movie, and I got an 85 day shooting schedule or more, then I’m saying I have enough time to shoot option A and B and C and D for every scene.

A lot of the motivation for doing the ‘Make ‘Em Laugh’ on SNL was because I had just finished shooting ‘Inception,’ where there were zero-gravity scenes and I got into really good shape and was training and did all these stunts.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
When I was in Mumbai for the promotion of ‘Makkhi,’ I met Ajay Devgn, Kajol, and Shah Rukh Khan, and I wanted to meet Aamir Khan. He was shooting out of India. I also met my favourite director, Raju Hirani. All of them showered praises on ‘Makkhi.’
