Terry Gilliam Quote

There comes a part where the money and the creative elements all come crashing together. Everybody's under a lot of pressure, and everybody is panicking about what works and what doesn't. And the studios and the money always have one perspective and the creative people have another one, and usually what happens is a lot of compromises get made. I decided not to. I walked off and did Tideland and came back six months later.

As quoted in the New York Times article Terry Gilliam's Feel-Good Endings (14 August 2005)
