Jack: (About "Lost") We get these scripts, like two episodes down the road, you start to think about "How are we going to do this?" and "Can we do a bridge?" and "Can we do this?" So, we start thinking about things, production-wise, how we can realize them. And the 'Black Rock' was one of those things.
Jack: Whenever we're shooting Lost, we can't get too hysterical about what we're doing in terms of pressure.
Jack: We found that working with boars is tricky, and they're not... you can only train them so much. And we couldn't bring any quote-end-quote "trained boars" over from the States. It was too expensive. So we thought we'd go local, because there are boars here, which is why they were written in.
Jack: I start seeing shots, I start getting ideas for transition, but I don't try to impose how I'm going to shoot it.
Jack: Well I've been painting since I was fourteen years old.
