“I learned a lot about how to shoot and how to put together sequences.” — Renny Harlin Quote

I learned a lot about how to shoot and how to put together sequences.

You just never give up, no matter how hard the challenges are, and observe this world with a healthy dose of criticism and don't just follow the herd like somebody else might do.

This was in '79. I got pretty restless there, sitting around with a lot of people sitting around smoking cigarettes and talking about films, but nobody really doing anything.

Eventually I did that, but it took a lot of twists and turns, and there were a year or two there where I was living with no money at all - no home, no car, no nothing. I was living in somebody's garage in Los Angeles at that point - for a year.

If I'm working on a film, I'll do sit-ups for before I shoot. Like, 100 in the morning or something.

It's a fun thing to do. Everyone thinks it's fun to shoot.

Sleepin' in the truck wasn't so bad. Shoot, I kind of liked that, myself.

Shoot first and ask questions later, and don't worry, no matter what happens, I will protect you.

I think each shoot has a different personality.
