Ego Quotes
-
On a film crew, you can see very quickly that some people who are working with you are stronger than you. Then you have to have the humility to listen to them. And because very often they have better ideas than yours, it can be tough on the evil ego. But it makes a better film.
Denis Villeneuve

They are cases where heredity is set at nought by a wholly bad or deficient Ego.
