Every job that I&#8217;ve taken, Sabbath observance is very important to my faith, so Friday night at sundown to Saturday night sundown I don&#8217;t work. And every job, before I take it, I let them know about the commitment. If ever there&#8217;s been a conflict, it&#8217;s not really a conflict, because I just say I can&#8217;t do it. Every movie that I&#8217;ve worked on as an executive, the grosses come out Friday night. I turn off my phone. I don&#8217;t know what happens until I turn my phone back on Saturday after the sun goes down. I don&#8217;t compromise. If you don&#8217;t set boundaries about what&#8217;s important, especially in this industry, you won&#8217;t have any boundaries &#8230; I tell people, If that means losing the job, then [so be it].
