I didn't know what to expect, and it's been fun so far. I try to think of ways to make myself go faster and listen to splits. I pretty much have to work off what I have.

Some girls have different strategies. They might not start out as fast. I know the other girls are trying as hard as I am. I'm probably just focusing on keeping my pace and staying strong.

I tell myself I'm almost done. As painful as it might be, keep going. All the others are back there, keep pushing.

It certainly was a lot of fun.

A script like 'The Sixth Sense' is fun to read: It's so well-written, and you get a vivid sense of what's going to be onscreen.

The kids today have these fresh faces. It's like they're on pins and needles, waiting to see what I'm going to do. They've never seen me. In the 1960s, those were hippies. They were wired up already. The kids today know me because I've worked with Jeff Tweedy and other young producers.
