Because Quote by Joel Edgerton
“The downside to making movies at a gallop like we did with 'Wish You Were Here' is that we're shooting four or five scenes in a day, and it's very exhilarating, but you worry at the end of the day that you missed some details because you were moving too quick, and you just gotta trust and be ready straightaway.”

![“There are shots that I had to walk away from because we had to get the movie in the theaters. There are some in "Independence Day" and "Godzilla," but lately I got smart. I would plan it so I had enough time [to get it right]. That just comes with experience.” quote by Roland Emmerich](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/603/roland-emmerich-16132_enough_there-are-shots-that-i-had-to-walk-away_2139723.jpg)
