Steven Soderbergh (Steven Andrew Soderbergh) Quotes

There's nothing else exactly like it in any other art form, the orchestration of so many different elements. It's endlessly fascinating what can be done editorially.

Two frames can be the difference between something that works and something that doesn't. It's fascinating.
