“I love to hang out and talk to people on set, especially when I start ...” — Claudia Black Quote

I love to hang out and talk to people on set, especially when I start a new job to get to know them. I like to learn things from the crew so I sit around and ask them technical questions, when I think of them.

The crew are the faces you see every morning and last at night before you go home. I spend more time with those people than I do with my friends and family, so they're forever a part of you and who you become as an actor so I hope I see them again.

I love to cook, it's one of my most favorite things in the world. That's why I stopped being a vegetarian - I didn't want to serve people things I hadn't tasted myself.

Your perceptions are often far more accurate than you are willing to believe.

I have people around me. I have a semi-permanent crew. If I make a film, they just turn up. They don't even invite themselves. They don't ask if they can come - they just turn up!

I don't see how I ever could have thought that having an all-white crew for a special about race would be OK.

One of the most important elements of Grand Prix is the pit stop. If a crew take two-to-three seconds longer than your competition, that can make a huge difference to the race.

To me, the noise of a threshing machine is better music than a lot of music I hear nowadays. I took a man's place in the threshing crew when I was only 14 years old.
