Quote:
"The funny thing about being a director is that everyone wants you to have all the answers all of the time, but sometimes you just don't. I tend to admit this but it doesn't always engender confidence in your cast and crew. [...] I always have an idea of what I want but like to remain open to other ideas when they come up. Then I go with my gut."
-- Lynne Stopkewich
