Making movies is a very different experience in a lot of ways. It's difficult when you're used to owning the copyright and having a landlord's possessory rights - I rent my plays to the companies that do them and, if I'm upset, I can pull the play. But the only two directors I've worked with are pretty great.

Summary

The quote highlights the difference in experience between making movies and writing plays. While the speaker usually retains ownership and control over their plays, they emphasize the loss of this control when it comes to movies. Renting out plays affords them the ability to withdraw the work if they are dissatisfied, whereas movies rely heavily on collaborative efforts with directors who they have had positive experiences with so far. It underscores the speaker's appreciation for the directors they have worked with, suggesting they have not faced issues related to creative control in the movie-making process.
