Cinema Quote by Grant Heslov

“What you learn when you direct a film, even more so than as a producer, it's a marriage. It's like a relationship with that film so you've got to make sure that it's really something that you want to live with for three years or however long it is. So I haven't found the right thing to marry yet.” quote by Grant Heslov — Download Open image
