  • Quotes
    [on Mad Love (1995)] Miramax was owned by Disney at the time and I was in post-production with a nice Disney teen film, which was quite edgy originally. We always thought we were making a film for 15 and up, and suddenly we had to make it for PG. Which meant I had to take the heart of the film out. That was quite a lesson. You're not in charge, it's not your money, it's someone else's, you've basically got to do what you're told
