"Pay attention to the work you want to do and everything'll work out fine. If you're in it for the ego, you might be successful but at a limited level."

Previous Quote

When you're working with movie stars, part of the deal is that, if they have something to say, you'd better listen. You don't have to absolutely listen and not talk, but there is another creative force at work, and to be successful working with movie stars, you have to bring that force to work for you. You have to find something that's comfortable for them, and at the same time, that's in the parameters of what you're trying to do yourself.
