Love Quote by Jeremy Bulloch

There’s a particular kind of actor’s humility that isn’t performative, and Jeremy Bulloch nails it here: the joy is in the day’s work, not the guarantee of being seen. He frames the experience as a gift already received - “I love doing this day” - a slyly revealing phrase that treats a shoot not as careerist ladder-climbing but as a single, self-contained pleasure. It’s the opposite of the modern attention economy where visibility is the prize. Bulloch is talking like someone who’s lived through enough productions to know that the camera’s gaze is fickle, and that your “moment” can evaporate in the edit suite.

The George in question (almost certainly George Lucas) is described with an affectionate steadiness: “calm and very gentle.” That’s not gossip; it’s atmosphere. Bulloch paints a set culture in which authority doesn’t need theatrics, a quiet counter-myth to the idea that big franchises are built on ego and chaos. The subtext is professional trust: you can do your job without being emotionally yanked around by the director’s mood.

Then comes the cleanest, most adult line an actor can offer about the business: “If I’m in the final cut… I’ll be thrilled. If I’m not, well that’s the way things go.” It’s resignation, sure, but also craft ethic. He’s refusing to turn editing - an impersonal, practical process - into a referendum on his worth. Coming from a genre icon, it’s a reminder that even beloved faces are contingent in filmmaking, and the pros make peace with that long before the audience ever gets to clap.
