Everyone is a little bit more close-knit and you rely on people a little bit more. The bigger the budget gets, the more everyone toes the line in their department.

I believe that creativity comes from compromise. If you could have everything you ever wanted, it doesn't always work.

Whenever I'm doing any film, I'm always just happy to have a job and I always just put 110% of myself into it.

The bigger the budget, the more you can afford to compromise with Mother Nature. The smaller the budget, the more you're like, "Okay, well, we have to do this, but how can we afford to do it." That's when you have to get really creative on the business side, as far as making compromises.

I didn't really have the entire high school experience. I've been working since I was six years old, so I didn't go to the classic high school.

Compromise is the key element. The more constraints you have, the more compromise you have to have. But, I personally believe that, when that happens, you have to get more creative, and you end up with something that is even better.
