I've worked on films where the budgets are almost limitless and you're in trailers that are bigger than a hotel room.

After I had my kids, I realized it's pretty much all about instinct - you have to do what's right for you. Everyone has an opinion, but it was all about what you do or don't do. I was so overloaded, so I let my children dictate the way things were supposed to go, and things fell into place. ↗
