    • Quotes
      You don't come to work going, 'Oh my God, I've got all this money I have to worry about'. You come to work going, 'I need more time and more money'. Because whatever resources you're given, you're always trying to push the envelope. There's no prize you get when you come back to the studio at the end and say here's your refund of what we didn't spend.
