Not banished. It was a planned career pivot. But alright, it's a remarkably cursed demonstration of the butterfly effect that we're both here now because I made too many movies in five years, and you were camping during a pandemic.
A lot of sinful people in Hollywood, then. [...] Any time a good movie is made, it's a literal miracle. You've got anywhere between dozens to hundreds of people pulling together to actualize this thing that's only existed in someone's imagination, and even with the strictest captain on the tightest ship, the end result can't be totally controlled by anyone. What people see in it, what people take from it, can't be controlled by anyone.
Am I religious? Even the most commercial, cynical movie... I feel something in there trying to transcend.
extremely brave of you to, when entirely unfettered by executive meddling, create the exact same bloated franchise reboots you'd be making otherwise save with slightly more homoeroticism
you need someone to tell you no sometimes and I can't do that if you don't let me read your scripts
I like that my people feel free to express themselves. I think of myself as a conduit for their vision.
And currently we're guests, not residents here. We follow the rules like any other guest of the Depot, but we're not subject to your authority. Your no doesn't mean anything.
I know. I'm saying that's my condition. if you want to work with me, if you want scooter's job you're asking for a creative stake in my depot. i think it's fair i get the same in return. if you want to work for me you can do whatever you want as long as it makes me money

[...] I have to talk it out with the players first. We got used to Carnelian making unilateral decisions for us, and I want to be different.
