Jack Bender

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: (About the hatch on "Lost") Directorially, I love the idea of it being round. Because I knew that whoever was sitting at that computer, we were going to be able to be doing a lot of movement around them, and that was the central core of that set.

Jack: Whenever we're shooting Lost, we can't get too hysterical about what we're doing in terms of pressure.

Jack: (Referring to a scene on "Lost") At one point, when we launched the raft, I said to our dog trainer, "Does she like the ocean?" And she said, "Yes, if I'm out there." And I said, "OK, I want him to swim as if he's following the raft." And, God bless the dog, and Kim the trainer, she got out on the raft, and the dog swam out, turned around at one point... "Go back, Vincent, go back!" It was wonderful. So for every dog lover in America, and I include myself high on the list, it's going to be a major moment.

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: Lost is such a challenge to get every episode different to the last.

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: I love the show and all the people I work with here. (Referring to "Lost".)

Jack: Well I've been painting since I was fourteen years old.

Jack: Season 3 is going to have action, a little more romance and adventure, so it's going to be bigger and above ground more. (Referring to "Lost")
