It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is always the first handicap to any creative functioning.

I love working with directors who have good taste. It's incredible when a director can say something and things open up for you. I went to The University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and some of my best experiences on sets have been working with other alums.
The kind of people who always go on about whether a thing is in good taste invariably have very bad taste.
