So whenever the choice is mine, I choose story and performance. I have cut action, which is a lot of fun, but over all not as rewarding for me as performance driven drama. Now comedy? That is hard.

"I started in independent film which tends to be performance driven. But the fact is the most fun in the editing room is watching actors inhabit characters. It is magic. To watch someone like Don Cheadle perform every day is a gift. Never a wrong note".
