• If you are the writer/director especially, no one cares more about the project than you do. You know it in and out. You created it. So always listen to input but don't be afraid to veto and fight decisions that you know instinctively are wrong.

Maybe because I was the same age as them and it was already hard enough trying to cross over to the 40s without someone judging your every move.
