I try to remember that even if finally a film is authored by one person--and I believe it is--the conundrum is that it's achieved by many, many hundreds of people. It's as if they're all holding onto your pen as you're writing. And if they don't hang on--if they don't support the pen--you can't make your piece of work. So I've never allowed myself the delusion that I was doing it by myself. I am extremely grateful to the crew, and I let them know I am.
