Some are won, some are lost, and some are kept for another time. The struggle never really ends at every level. There is a new struggle to break forward and upward. And as we speak, the struggle continues. Now, of course, the struggle is to find good work, get good work, and do it, you know, in a way where it is appreciated by the people who are making the project and by the most important part of filmmaking, the audience.'
