| Quote | |
|---|---|
| 1 | I think that a big hump to overcome is getting good material. It’s very easy to go to Hollywood and the agents are happy to see you and they open the drawer and they pull out the 18 scripts that they haven’t been able to sell in the last 10 years and say, ‘Be my guest!’ So, really, it was a matter of getting the credibility and the relationships to the point where we get really good material and really good access to scripts, to actors, to directors. And just kind of being there long enough. |
| 2 | It was funny. When we started our business, Deb and I, after three years we were quite successful. And my dad came to New York and he said, ‘All right, this is great. Now you proved your point, so you should come back and run this or do that.’ And I said to him, ‘No, Dad, I love this.’ |
| 3 | Y’know, everybody has an opinion about something. There are many jokes to be made about opinions … but it is what it is. People like to chat about what they like to chat about. That’s not my issue, to tell you the truth. I just focus on what we do. |
