“You can win as long as you chose your battles. You can win more arguments then you might think as a writer, even though you legally have no recourse, and your script can get muddied and altered in any way possible.

So what I've learned is to just basically not buckle - not be belligerent, not be angry, not throw fits, but just not buckle.”
