S. Walker Southern Quotations

We were out there in the Southern Ocean, feeling very insignificant in a big part of the planet, ... At any minute, another storm would sweep in. We hatched a plan: Spike and I would climb up and jury-rig the fitting. As we started the climb, I told the crew that they must helm the yacht very carefully on the opposite tack, as the rigging was only holding up one side of the mast. If the helmsman made a mistake while we were up on the mast, we'd crash down over the side with the entire rig on top of us.

I just sat back and watched him - he was so confident which I think is really important for a director. He never wavered. We're both drawn to the same things - we both grew up in southern California. He told me he appreciates a challenge. He knew it was going to be tough and I like him for for that. Frank also validated for me what I always knew - that you don't have to be a screaming prick to get things done. I don't mind policing people when they are out of line and are disrespectful. I have a bit of a reputation for that.
