Quote by Ed Brubaker

“There's a reason why every successful person in Hollywood has like seven or eight projects up in the air at any point. It's like a 90 percent chance for each project that it'll never happen. Every project has about a 10 percent chance of getting made, unless you're like a Quentin Tarantino or somebody who just gets whatever they want to get done. But those are the rare cases.”

Yes, it sucks at first, and the feeling is valid, but it all happens for a reason. Let go.”
