    • Quotes
      Priscilla was the only time I've ever had final cut on a film and I wanted that again. This project was really important to me. When I took the project through the studio system, I could tell that I'd lose control if I went down that road. One studio actually said that they wouldn't do the film unless Ashley [Judd] had a twin sister pop out of a closet at the end. They were serious.
