Did you learn your technical skills on Buffy, or were they something you'd already established?
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.
