About this Quote

She is recommending that it is common for people to talk about films for years before they actually get made, and that it is difficult to understand if the financing for the motion picture will ever come through. She is emphasizing the uncertainty of the motion picture market and the need to stay realistic about the chances of a film actually being made. Her quote is a reminder that it is essential to stay grounded and not get too attached to a motion picture that might never come to fruition. It is a tip that the motion picture market is unpredictable and that it is necessary to remain available to the possibility of frustration.
