"To create a magnificent failure is to create the best kind of picture: a picture that really drives and changes things.  Because when you see a picture and you say, "that's a very beautiful picture," it is instantly forgettable.  A picture that is a magnificent failure actually breates life and allows the culture to change.  If you have perfection, there is nowhere to go.  With perfection there is no communication.  You have nothing to access.  The disasters are what bring life and allow us to connect.  That's the magic."
