“Each time a mediocre singer performs, he is saying, in effect, "This is good enough for you."

“To be honest, I would have to say that there was a certain burden in working with Arnold, a big action star. I am aware that Arnold is loved by the American audience, but rather than focusing on working with Arnold, what I focused on was expressing the character, Sheriff Owens, through Arnold the actor and knowing that Arnold and my idea about Sheriff Owens coincided and that it was about Owens protecting a certain value and justice, I focused more on that aspect that helped me to be more comfortable in working with Arnold.” IdeasCharacterBigsActionCertainValuesActorsStarsJusticeAudienceKnowingHonestComfortableAspectBurdenFocusedBeing HonestSheriffs Author:Kim Jee-woon
