You do the work and you want people to see it; but, um while I'm doing the work, the result doesn't matter at all to me.

To me, when a film gets made and it's actually finished it's a success. They're all a success in their own way.

I get out of bed to trap them before they escape.

They still put you in a room with these people who apparently have no difference whether you're making a family driven show or otherwise. But I do realize it's very sad to me. This is the first film Oz The Great that I've done that's not R rated. It's a really weird connection.
