Quote

Film is a collective experience, as you know.

I think that people should really understand what it takes to make a film.

People have a different idea of how movies are made than they really are.

I think making a film that you think is good and you believe in is going to be difficult forever.

There is no sense in making a film that no-one will go and see, just to create a perfect, but useless, work of art.

You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.

You hear again and again that audiences want to see movies that are different, and critics say we make the same thing again and again in Hollywood, then you go and make something different, and you get kicked in the gut for it.

When you work so hard on making a film, it's all worthwhile when you get to experience seeing that film with an audience who thoroughly enjoy it and react to the movie.
