Also everyone's hearts are in the right place when you do a small movie. You're not doing it for the money; you're not doing it for the possibility of an Oscar nomination. You are doing it because you love the material.

I was always fraught with guilt, and it's such a waste of an emotion. It keeps you out of the moment of being where you are.
