The true marker of success is when the creative minds behind a film can sit down and feel that they have succeeded in the mission they set out to accomplish - and that is to make good cinema. If we feel that we have achieved that as a team, then we have all been successful.

I do not believe that I am a perfectionist one bit. I truly believe that perfection is something that no one can achieve.

If a script has that affect on me during a reading, then it is definitely a film I want to be part of.
