Personal Quote:

You have more time when you have more money, but that doesn't always make it [the production] better. [In indies] you get to do it together, not just some CEOs counting shareholders. With low-budget films, people give 150 per cent because they don't have the money or time to waste, and there is a necessity to be creative in what casts and crews do. [2008] See more »
