Hollywood is the only place in the world where you can die of encouragement.

- Pauline Kael

It's very common to get lots of encouragement from people who have no stakes in your success. Listen to them at your peril because they don't have any ability to shape your success or failure. For the record - if there weren't thousands of dollars backing this project I would have bailed on it long ago. I am absolutely 100% in the catbird seat on this one - people who absolutely know - and who have zero reason to shine me on - have told me to do it because it'll be worth my time.

That does not mean I'm enjoying it.
