But no one should have the right to manipulate my films in the first place.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think you have a responsibility to the people you're making movies with, and I take that very seriously. I don't want to let up and I don't want to let down.
Unless you're the director on the movie, or putting up the money for the movie, you really don't have a lot of control.
I prefer to believe it's my responsibility if a film of mine works or doesn't work.
I think you cannot make films without choosing everything.
I want people to come see my films and enjoy them but at the end of the day you can't control what people think.
First, speaking for myself, I don't want to ever be in a position where I'm telling other directors how to make movies, because I don't think it's any of my business.
If you are going to do a film properly you have to give yourself completely to it.
I know that if a film is ready to emerge out of what I write, I'll be able to go off and make it without asking anyone's permission.
Films can only be made by by-passing the will of those who appear in them, using not what they do, but what they are.
I know that I am not owed the right to make movies. I know God has given me this privileged position, and I have to work dog-hard as an actor to make the films the best they can be.
