I treated every project that I've ever worked on--and some of them
have been fairly miserable--with the greatest of respect. My question
to myself, always, in any work I've done, was that my contribution had
to be equal to or greater than anyone else's individual contribution.
That's always been the way I've approached it. This is also the way I
treated it, budget-wise: never wasting money, even if I wasn't paying
for it. I treated it with a great deal of respect, first of all because
the medium, to me, deserved it; and secondly, because the cooperation
of all the people involved in order to get a film mounted is
important.
