Cinema Quote by Marc Platt

“I'm very competitive, and I want to be very successful, but at the end of the day, films to me are still films. I want them to be good, and I'll work the hardest, but at night, I go home to my life and my family, and that's where my heart lies.” quote by Marc Platt — Download Open image
