"You must carry the consequences that come with the freedom you take in making certain decisions. You shouldn't risk your authenticity by saying things like 'Sure but that's not really what I wanted to do.' You should say, 'Yeah, that's what I meant!' or at least admit that you actually made that decision and you want to defend your movie because of that."
