Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.
Film is the toughest one for me, as there are many fingers in the pot, so it can be disappointing. However, to have your work seen on such a large scale, that's a very exciting prospect.
Luck, I never looked to make difficult movies on purpose. You make the films you can make.
If you stay true to your ideas, film-making becomes an inside-out, honest kind of process.
You have a big success, and it's still not easy to make a movie.

If you just love movies enough, you can make a good one.
