"I haven't seen the show, but when it was finished, I felt good about what we had done. I don't know how it will stack up with Survival, but that'll be up to the critics"
About this Quote
The phrase "felt good about what we had done" is quietly communal. It frames filmmaking as labor and camaraderie, not personal genius. That "we" matters, especially for a performer known for intensity; it softens the persona and signals professionalism, the kind that measures success by effort and ethics as much as by reviews.
Then he slides the responsibility away from himself with a shrug: "I don't know how it will stack up with Survival". Comparison is inevitable in entertainment; Morrow names it before anyone else can, defusing the critique in advance. He acknowledges the marketplace without begging it.
"That'll be up to the critics" sounds deferential, but it's also a boundary line. Critics get the last word on ranking and legacy; he claims the right to judge only the process. Subtext: I can stand behind the work without gambling my self-worth on reception. In an industry where the edit can betray the performance, that posture is less humility than survival.
