Care Quote by Paul Feig
“What I do as a director is really create a safe environment that everyone can feel very comfortable in and experiment within so that they don't hold back anything. You never ever want someone to go, 'Oh I shouldn't have done that.' There isn't anything you shouldn't try. If it's terrible, who cares?”

![“I’ve had unsatisfying experiences, but mostly it’s about communication, which is why I make an effort to talk to the director beforehand to make sure we see eye-to-eye as creative individuals. If [good] communication isn’t present, you can lose something and end up very unhappy.” quote by Martin Starr](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/536/martin-starr-33483_cinema_i-ve-had-unsatisfying-experiences-but-mo_2308868.jpg)
