When you're the lead actor in a drama, you have 2 1/2 months at the end of a season to do other projects, and everything has to get done in that time.
In two days, it's hard to to get the quality you would normally want for a design project.
In art or architecture your project is only done when you say it's done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again, you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures.
Everybody in the real world will agree - the moment a project is behind deadline, quality assurance tends to go out the window.
The record company felt wisely that we should get something out before I left 'Hamilton' or around awards time, and that deadline was not easy.
You do not give a great biographer a timetable. You let them do their work and, in due course, publish it.
My game plan is very simple. If something good comes up, I will check if those required dates are free and I will do the film. Regardless of the language and the scope of the project.
