Speaking of the years filming TV commercials, he said " Almost all of this creative work was a collaborative effort. There were many gifted people involved. Cinematographers, set designers, writers, art directors, wardrobe designers, music people, film editors and of course clients, each passionate about their particular point of view. Compromises, adjustments and changes were generally the order of the day.

I'm often a bit sorry when I realize a piece has been completed and any more attention might overwork it.
