One thing I've learned as an actor as well as a producer is to trust my own instinct. When I first started acting I would sometimes have ideas about certain things, whether it's a scene, or a character or certain dialogue, that wouldn't be followed.

There is a softening of discipline. There is capitulation. And then there is remorse, self-accusation, and bitter tears of regret.
