I find it easier when I'm working because I have more on my plate and I can organize it better than when I'm just free. If I have no calendar, I tend to get much more messed up. (Chow Stephen)
Because I work with so many people on the east coast, I get some work done before I get the kids up. (Chow Stephen)
It's important to determine which surroundings work best for you, and then build that environment to suit your needs. (Chow Stephen)
The summer before last, I was able to work with Rhea Perlman (Danny's wife) on Broadway. (Chow Stephen)
Being typecast as Lois made my vanity and narcissism scream. Hadn't people seen my other work? But now my grandkids watch it and think I was Superman's friend, so that's a thrill. (Chow Stephen)
I went to work and did a lot of homework about what was wrong with me. (Chow Stephen)
Because of the tension and difficulty, I remember trying to do the silliest things when we weren't rolling cameras, anything to lift the spirits. But once on set, it was important to have full concentration. (Chow Stephen)
Daniel and I simply expressed what we felt was appropriate for the scene and Dante Spinotti had an innate sense of where to place the camera. And as I remembered, he used a hand-held to get a sense of raw beauty. (Chow Stephen)
For the first two weeks of filming, I remember bristling at some of the occurrences on the set, none of which directly involved me. Then I surrendered to the environment, to Michael's method, and became much happier, even though no one knew what to expect. (Chow Stephen)
He also didn't like a lock of my hair and said that he couldn't get into the moment without the hair being just right. I quietly knew that he was anxious and that the hairdo wasn't the real issue. But we all let it go and came back to the scene sometime later. (Chow Stephen)
He was also very clear that the decision to cast me as Cora was all Michael's. (Chow Stephen)
I cannot tell you where my interpretation of Cora began and Michael's ended. I often times felt as if he were in the scenes with us, such was his imprint. So when I said, "I feel like everything I tried to do is there", it is less because of what I did than it is a case of Michael keeping his word. (Chow Stephen)
I'm reticent to say much more, but we would like to begin in the coming year. We'd like to shoot through the seasons because of the passage of time. This project is the great love of my life. (Chow Stephen)

Sometimes I'll turn the channel and there's the movie and I can honestly say that those last few minutes always fascinate me. It's one of the rare instances when image, music, and drama work effectively. (Chow Stephen)
The next day at work, I went straight to Daniel and told him so, saying something to the effect that "It was my fault". We told Michael my opinion (and this was unusual), he thought it over, watched dailies (which we were not allowed to see) and came back and said "You're right". (Chow Stephen)
The scene was attempted a second time, up on top of the fort, and cameras didn't even roll. Michael, though he wasn't admitting it, wasn't sure how to shoot the scene. (Chow Stephen)
Working on the accent helped, enormously. I will tell you that when I brought Michael a correct "British" accent, one that my dialect coach was happy with, he hated it. (Chow Stephen)
“A lot of work. A lot of vocal coaching, a lot of instrument training.” (Chow Stephen)
“When he had a scene, we would stand like a set away and watch, and we were just cracking up. He would just sit funny. And stand funny. He was just so funny in everything he did.” (Chow Stephen)
I like working on stage because there's something very immediate about it, that interaction with an audience where you immediately hear their reaction, or feel them, whether they're with you. (Chow Stephen)
