Sometime you have a problem. The guy who did the sound on Accident, he did an incredibly beautiful sound… sound score. So I had something for him a little later and I trusted him so much that I even sent him all the money for whatever I'm going to pay for the thing. Well, when I get the stuff back from him, it was so bad. It was so horrible. It was incredible how anyone can be that bad after doing like Accident. He had to be drunk or some damn thing when he was doing that. Because I showed that to some people at the studio here and they said, 'Why don't you ask for your money back'? And I said, 'Oh no, hell with that'. No, I don't want to do that because I don't want to get him on me, you know? And when you deal with film, you will run into people that are a problem, they are problem. And you have to understand that and you have to run with that or play with that. But that's part of making your film, you know?
