- Kurtwood: Sure, not finding the right words at times. Basically I had no problems with Paul. His problems were with crew people. Things not being ready. And so he wouldn't always deal with it in the right way and would scream and yell. But it was always about the stuff, it wasn't about him. It wasn't about him being powerful. Ya know? He was working on a very limited budget and had less time than he needed.
  Edit Share Hide
- Kurtwood: (Through a smile) Yeah he knows what he wants. He didn't always express it in the right way.
  Edit Share Hide
- Kurtwood: He's demanding…but he's only demanding what he should be getting.
