Perhaps I’ve been rushing my whole entire life, jumping into things headfirst without thinking them through. Running through the days without noticing the minutes.
There's something wrong - the performance, the weather, the set design, the lighting. Something is not working. And so you say, "Give me 10 minutes. " When you're first directing, you're terrified. But when you've been in that situation enough times, you know that under pressure, it will come to you.
