I'm like arrgh, I'm doing all this crazy s**t, and he's sitting over there filming me on his iPhone. I really didn't know I was doing it, I was just so into it and trying to give him my energy to do whatever it was that we weren't. Yes, I really get into it when I'm on headset sometimes."

"As a producer, I will be so excited on that headset when it goes good and these guys are out there killing it, especially people that haven't had a moment yet and they are. I am more happier for them walking through that curtain than I was walking for myself walking through the curtain," Helms said. "That's the one thing that caught me off guard. I thought I would enjoy this job, I didn't think I would love it and I absolutely do." [9:55 - 10:25]
