In my own relationships, I know that I should break up with someone who doesn’t encourage me to be strong and make my own choices and do what’s best in my life, so if you’re dating someone who doesn’t want you to be the best person you can be, you shouldn’t be dating them.

Sometimes, when you work with directors who have done it a lot and are established in the business and know the game, there are all these rules that they have.
