"Our deal always was that we did one as scripted always, we got it like we thought we needed - so we were all happy with it as written. Then I'd let him play as long as we had time"

This quote by Blair Underwood talks to the value of cooperation and compromise in the creative process. He is suggesting that when dealing with a task, it is necessary to start with a plan and a script that everyone enjoys with. This ensures that everybody is on the very same page which the task will be successful. Once the script is agreed upon, Underwood suggests that it is essential to allow for some imaginative flexibility and improvisation. This enables the job to be more innovative and special, while still staying within the limits of the initial plan. By permitting some imaginative freedom, everybody involved in the job can be satisfied with the end outcome.
