“The editor has to be the ombudsman for the audience.
As an editor you only see what goes on the screen, not what was going on at the time of shooting.
And that’s how it’s going to look to the audience. I make it a principle not to go on the set, not to see the actors out of costume, not to see anything other than the images that come to me from location.”
