"What's certainly true, though, is that a film has a life of it's own, and that's what wins Oscars. You can get together the best director, cast, crew and script money can buy, and still come up with a bummer. No-one can forecast the organic growth of a movie in its shooting. And occasionally you get one that starts as a carrot and ends as an orchid." - Taken from Reginald Hill's 'Auteur Theory', a short story in the book 'There are no Ghosts in the Soviet Union'.
