I kind of always think my work is unfilmable, and when I meet people who are interested in filming it, I'm always stunned.

A lot of filmmaking is an endurance contest between you and the people you're filming. Every time that you relax, I promise you, something interesting will happen.
Very, very rare that you do a job knowing that the audience is desperate for you to do that job. Most films you make don't get released, is the fact.
Filming is always a challenge because I'm not used to it. But I approach it head-on. I'm not technically brilliant, but it's the spirit that counts.
Film work can be tedious and sort of all over the place, especially when you have a family and you're going off and doing things somewhere else.
I think sometimes when you're working consistently in film, and maybe this is just me, but you do feel quite dislocated from your audience.
I just think that the collective experience of going to see a film is something you can't recreate.
For a film to be viable, it has to survive this process of scrutiny. I think most filmmakers have obsessive-compulsive tendencies and would be completely unemployable in any other job - so it's great to be able to channel your psychological anomalies into something productive and creative.
Filming is a witnessing process. You don't try to control it, even though sometimes you wish you could because it can go really, really wrong for you.
You know how it is, somebody will see your work and like it and remember it, then decide to make it a role in their film.
Within the process of filming, unexpected situations occur.
