Randa Haines quotes about
It's very scary to turn things down, but a project has to really mean something to me. I'm not interested in making a lot of money.
A barrier for me - which has been both a strength and a weakness - has been my taste. The kind of things I'm interested in aren't always mainstream.
There are stories I'd like to tell, I'd like to see, and they're not getting made. These stories are beyond the experience of the people in power. They don't understand it, so they're frightened of it.
