I do believe that there are auteurs, in the sense that there are filmmakers with very strong voices and their voices are communicated on to the screen without a lot of compromise.
I think that I've learned to relax, and trust in and hire very talented people, and trust in their abilities a little more.
All the director wants is their idea of the movie to be believed in.
From a personal standpoint, I'd say that, yeah, seeing how quickly children grow, you realize how fast life goes by.
I learned that when you're lucky enough to be surrounded by such talented people that you really become more of an orchestrator of this talent - you're just trying to harmonise everyone's contributions.
